Yes Carlton +1

Ideas by number is not always a good idea.
Sometime the little voice is more important.
Maybe it is where we need to help?
All the best

>The ICANN Strategy Panel on Multistakeholder
>Innovation<http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/strategic-engagement/mul
>tistakeholder-innovation>
>(the
>MSI Panel) and The Governance Lab @ NYU <http://thegovlab.org/> (The
>GovLab) recently launched an online engagement effort aimed at helping to
>design a 21st century Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
>(ICANN) ­ the public interest organization responsible for coordinating
>the
>Internet¹s Domain Name System (DNS).
>
>We are writing to request your participation in this important initiative
>and to help us spread the word!
>
>The MSI Panel has been charged with:
>
>   - Proposing new models for international engagement, consensus-driven
>   policymaking and institutional structures to support such enhanced
>   functions; and
>   - Designing processes, tools and platforms that enable the global ICANN
>   community to engage in these new forms of participatory
>decision-making.
>
>The Panel is a small group of seven with no monopoly on the best ideas for
>what ICANN should or should not do to coordinate the DNS in the public
>interest. All suggestions to make ICANN more effective and more democratic
>­ whether constitutional, structural, legal, procedural or technological ­
>will be welcome.
>
>While we cannot decide for ICANN, the aim of the MSI Panel is to use its
>authority to push for real change. Thus, we want ideas that are concrete
>and specific for innovative processes, structures, platforms, and
>techniques to design a 21st century ICANN.
>
>To gather and organize your input ­ we¹re launching this campaign in three
>stages:
>
>*Stage 1: Idea Generation* ­ Starting November 19th and running for six
>weeks via an ideation platform, *Ideascale.* You can access our MSI Panel
>community page here <http://bit.ly/1dS9sLp>. On the page, you can submit
>any and all concrete ideas you have. You can rate and rank others¹ for
>importance and practicality. *November 19 - December 31*.
>
>*Stage 2: Proposal Development* ­ Submissions will be grouped into general
>proposals and opened to discussion using a blog with line-by-line
>annotation features. This phase will be designed to take ideas closer to
>implementation. *January 14 - January 21.*
>
>*Stage 3: Collaborative Drafting* ­ Using a wiki, we will invite
>collaborative drafting on specific proposals that the Panel will submit to
>the ICANN CEO, Board and community. *January 28 - February 11.*
>
>To help us spread the word, we ask you to do any of the following:
>
>   - Submit ideas and encourage members of your network/community to
>   contribute to the Ideascale community site by providing them with the
>link:
>   *http://thegovlab.ideascale.com/* <http://thegovlab.ideascale.com/>.
>   - Broadcast our ³Call To Action,² for this initiative, which is online
>   *here* <http://bit.ly/HWNxrW>, as widely as possible within your
>   networks. Feel free to link to this post or repost on your website
>edited
>   to fit your needs.
>   - Share this information within your community and network via mailing
>   lists and listservs.
>   - Use social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter to spread the
>   word about the campaign. Don¹t forget to use the hashtag* #WeCANN*.
>   - To inspire participation and learn how to contribute, watch and share
>   a *video* <http://bit.ly/185t28Q> The GovLab has made for the launch of
>   this distributed brainstorm.
>   - Host your own brainstorming forum and share ideas generated with the
>   MSI Panel on our Ideascale community page.
