>> Some reflections about the Com Com questions
>>
>>  Before leaving Porto Alegre, last January, I had some exchanges
>> with Jason and Monica about the meeting of the Communication
>> Commission with the Liaison Group. After that conversation I saw more
>> clearly what could explain the misunderstandings we faced.
>>
>>  1. Jason remembered in our conversation that the Com Com (and all
>> of us) always considered that the WSF communication is a
>> responsibility of all IC members.
>>
>>  2. at a moment of our meeting Jason said: if the Com Com do not
>> receive information about what is being done by the WSF participants
>> it cannot do its task.
>>
>>  The combination of this two ideas push to the following reasoning:
>>
>>  - the IC members are not ?communicating? as they have to  do;
>>
>>  - the Com Com takes then under its responsibility this task;
>>
>>  - but If this Commission needs, to do this task,  the information
>> sent to them by the IC members, it functions in fact as a
>> communication staff serving the IC;
>>
>>  - this could explain why the Com Com members decided to work
>> ?professionally?.
>>
>>  I would say then that we need to see the Com Com not as technical
>> staff but with a political role, discussing with the IC members, at
>> least the following:
>>
>>  1.- what content of communication the WSF is needing, (for instance
>> what messages we need to diffuse about the objectives of the WSF
>> process in each moment, when we say that ?another world is possible,
>> necessary and urgent?);
>>
>>  2.- what the IC members are doing or proposing (new actions and
>> campaigns, etc);
>>
>>  3.- what happened in the Forums (new actions and campaigns
>> proposed, etc);
>>
>>  4.- how the IC members can diffuse this information through the
>> means they have;
>>
>>  5.- how to articulate all this means in a cooperative way, through
>> eventually common tools and links.
>>
>>                  That is to say that the IC members cannot stay, in
>> the communication responsibility they have, at the very modest level
>> of sending information to a Com Com acting as ?their? communication
>> staff?  And the Com Com cannot accept this task but deepen the WSF
>> communication challenge, in a political approach of it.
>>
>>   I would propose to discuss this approach of the problem, instead
>> of discussing how the Com Com works now or what it is doing, as if it
>> was a technical IC ?department? to be evaluated.
>>
>>  This approach could be used to all other IC Commissions, to
>> understand better their political and not technical role, to push the
>> IC to this political discussion and not to a bureaucratic one, and to
>> make all the IC members take their responsibilities in the field of
>> each Commission.
