Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
in Marrakesh, the Cross Community Engagement Group on Internet
Governance discussed its future with the Board Working Group on
Internet Governance. The decision was to use the Engagement Group as
a platform for sharing information about Internet Governance.<br>
We already do that using email. Unfortunately, there are an
increasing number of parallel tracks and we often drop the ball, or
lose a track altogether.<br>
<br>
My enquiry is as follows: the Engagement Group on Internet
Governance has a LOT of different tracks that are being followed,
from IGF, to CSTD, UN General Assembly, ITU, WTO, etc. etc. <br>
So many tracks, that sometimes the history of what is happening in
these global conferences is being lost - there are just too many
threads. <br>
We've tried putting the threads on WIKI pages, but we are faced with
two hurdles:<br>
1. many people in the working group are not versed in editing WIKIs.
<br>
2. staff does not have time to update WIKIs given the multiplication
of threads. We do not have a "curator" to make sense of the
avalanche of information that's coming our way.<br>
<br>
As a result, what I wanted to ask you is whether you can recommend
any tool that would help with our ability to track several threads
and make these easily accessible to participants, including
historical perspectives, without creating an undue amount of work
for ourselves. Our problem is basically one of Knowledge Management.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
