A moment of highlight on contribution 3



The probably complete chronological list of 18 inputs to date to the icfuture discussion is here
http://openfsm.net/projects/wsfic_fsmci/wsfic-icfuture-home
In this list you see the input from Giuseppe Sara Vinod Pierre Jason Mireille Mikael Amit Chico Oded Gina Francine Rita ( i may still forget some name..)


Here is a brief text focusing on my contribution Number 3 which might have been overlookedas it came in september at a moment where the debate was between very few people before Chico started "creating the Buzz" with dissolution of IC ( see his contribution 10)

This contribution 3 contains
http://openfsm.net/projects/wsfic_fsmci/wsfic-icfuturecontribution-3

1/ (part 1) a chronicle of "how IC got where it stands
.". ( it can be read as more or less convincing story )

2/ an elaboration on the notion of "facilitation"
distinguishing facilitation of events and facilitation of other invitiatives

A/ facilitation of events

( eg Tunis 2013, or free media forum , science and democracy forum etc)
this is the most well known part of wsf related facilitation
or
B/ other process related initiatives
this is a less visible part of wsf related facilitation
here are a few examples of such initaitives

example 1- stimulating social forum extension
( in the sense of belem, dakar, tunis extended)
http://www.wsf2013.org/en/node/5653
http://openfsm.net/projects/sfexintercom
or
example 2- providing/maintaining an "openspace on line" where many initiatives inside WSF can be coexisting and interacting ( there can be several such on line open spaces of course)
http://www.openfsm.net
or
example 3 -wsf2012 IC support working group started in Dhaka IC
http://openfsm.net/projects/wsf2012-support
This working group scope is about giving concrete turn to two ideas

- a/ the starting process of an "Agora of event organizers" (on line
)
http://openfsm.net/projects/espacios-oe

This idea of OE space (OE stands for "Organizers of Events" ) was discussed in methodology commission in the summer of 2011
http://openfsm.net/projects/ic-methodology/wsf11-evaluation-dialogo-espacios-1

It has a quite an echo with recent contribution 17 by Chico see paragraphs 3 and 4 and 6 of http://openfsm.net/projects/wsfic_fsmci/wsfic-icfuturecontribution-17

Some themes of exchange are proposed for working groups in OE spaces which may be inspiring for a
"council of poeple with WSF process organizing /facilaition experience"
http://openfsm.net/projects/espacios-oe/lists


-a WSF agenda this WSF agenda maintenance process has the key role of showing the global reality of the process through events to many wsf participants ( if you know of events in 2013 .. please sen the info :-))
http://openfsm.net/projects/wsf2012-support/wsf2012-calendar


3/ (part 2 of contribution 3 is a detailed proposal of "wsf facilitation contribution peer review"
which can be included smoothly in the agenda of an IC meeting , in a conscious effort to focus on contribution by members to process progress
http://openfsm.net/projects/wsfic_fsmci/wsfic-icfuturecontribution-3/#_Toc334095573
This focus on concrete facilitation work and exchange of experience might be easier to have in a "council of Organizers/facilitators" ( Chico contribution 17 ) than in a "council of representatives" (Current IC)

Of course the main characteristics of IC i-e to be a closed body where to have a limited consensus decisionremains to be transposed of changed in a new "council of poeple with WSF process organizing /facilaition experience"

Any comment on this highlight, which is a new and brief input 19 to the discussion, is welcome

Regards to all
