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 overlooked as 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 decision  remains 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
