Giuseppe, Jason, Com Comand IC friends
(Giuseppe - We're translating your article to share your ideias next little meeting of Ciranda in São Paulo
Also your proposal, Jason.)

I agree that the path we tread is a bit too naive and romantic to the dimension of the WSF. At the same time I don't think this will be resolved chasing every new tool or the mainstream media, but rather seeking to articulate ourselves with creative movements and militant fronts, fighting for the democratization of communication in the world (And expressing it through the communication of the WSF).

How we do it?


The space of the WSF should be appropriate for this debate. Not (just) as a working group but as part of the process.
 I'd like to share the information that we're going to be part of 2 activities in the WSF in order to share ideas about these questions.
One of them is a seminar called by Ritimo and coorganized with some alternative media  (Feb, 8)
Another  will be made with Boaventura (and Intervozes, from Brazil, and FemNet, Africa) and .... , about the shared communication in times of wikileaks (Feb, 9)

Maybe, as Com Com Group, we should identify all the discussions on communication in the WSF and join them. Also disseminate them. How about produce produce a small folder about them?

It would be great a meeting of Com Com before the IC and after general debates on communication.

I'd like to ask your attencion for the Assemblies guidance.

Who is thinking to call something related with communication? We are seriously thinking about
Let's to coordenate each other to build a common calendar (if not a common assembly, and why not?)

Rita

Thank you GIuseppe.  

Your analysis is thought provoking and stimulating and I wish we could have this kind and level of discussion in the WSF (IC and not only).  I think we are stuck in an old counter-hegemonic model that is out of sync with time and with the reality of social movements today.  Not that all the discussions taking place during the forums are not relevant.  It's just the Forum itself which needs to evolve with an organisational effort that really is too tied to traditional civil society forms of meetings and is becoming less relevant for the struggles of today.  Think of what is happening in Tunisia, Iran, China and other countries, where people organise in very difficult context but are able to communicate to the world... if only the world (social forum) would be able to offer a way / space / tools / facilitation to listen and interact.  On converging issues, which are many, building a sense of common effort and strategy.

Communication (not in the sense of information, but certainly not excluding it) is key for all this.  It takes time, but also will..

Anyway, I hope we can have some "converging" moments to discuss these matters in Dakar.

We should al least think of a presential comcom meeting for those that are there (with possibility of joining through the internet) before the International Council.   Who is available to help organise it?

Jason
