Our Organizing Question:

What are our most compelling why's? How much do you agree or disagree that each of these ideas needs to be part of our P-CII effort and that we need to make sure this idea moves forward as part of our overall effort?*

• We need to create strong partnerships with countries and groups outside of the US in order to create broad credibility globally.

• The P-CII needs to allow people to contribute to the shared repository of knowledge and collaboration.

• We need to support women so they become franchised - better represented.

• We need to have broad diversity and stakeholders in our convening’s - policy makers - elected officials - general public - business leaders - etc.

• We need to enable local expertise.

• We need transparency to be a critical part of the P-CII

• We need to bring together the different stakeholders in roundtables - where no one group or role is the decision maker.

• We need to be a center that can engage policy makers - be credible - to become the leaders in bringing about a digital transformation.

• We need to tell the stories of local actions that are taking over their own agency of technology - how can we integrate these success stories into our narrative.

• We believe that technologies can't do this alone - the networked society - and that things will not happen by themselves - policy makers have an important role to play - an active and immense role for governments and policy makers to play.

• We need to get policy makers to focus on what services can be provided and what benefits can be created through the internet - practical services.

• We need to think about the social context for how we apply anything we do - we need to create a best practices knowledge base - think about the women element.

• If we are people centric - remember that many people do not share the libertarian views from Silicon Valley - we need to represent the local values from each nation or region.

• We need an enabling environment with policy makers that is based on credible knowledge - the Stanford brand is great - but it's in a lot of stove pipes - we also need to include other centers from around the world - in developing areas - having partnerships between these groups - we need to build the knowledge and improve our understanding of digital transformation.

• We need to make sure that the internet services are not solely controlled by the providers - but are ultimately determined by the users

• We need the policy makers to understand the why aspect - for us to be able to explain the concept itself so it is clearly understood by potential partners - networks - etc.

• We need the P-CII to create the environment for ongoing relationship building and the strengthening of trust between all of the active players that meet and convene through the P-CII.

• So many of the worlds issues can be positively affected by engaging and empowering women through the P-CII and how we can transform the internet.

• We need to make sure that communities are participating in the mission - there must be strong representation from the community.

• We need to have more voices on ICT and the public interest - this can be a central role in what we end up doing.

• We need to focus on the ends that we seek - to identify these ends become our why's - they should be about social outcomes.

• We need to think about what our hopes are at the end of the day - to improve the quality of life for many billions of people - we need to crystalize our vision across this line.

• We need to get the how right - currently there is a disastrous breakdown in the relationship between the policy makers and the people - we are currently in conflict with ourselves

• We need to alter systems - and we a group with a convening capability to bring people from all over the world - Stanford has this ability.

• The P-CI has to include students - how are we going to engage and inspire students?

• We need a process that has a top down and bottom up experience that meets in the middle.

• We need to have - support - host new conversations that focus on how to get women more effectively and equally involved and participating in the internet and P-CII.

• We need to connect with the breadth and depth of the knowledge and experiences that has gone on before us - what can we learn from all of this effort?.

• We need an open source platform for women - take technology by the horns - to connect and empower women.

• We want patients to have enough information and knowledge to make the best choices for themselves - to become more responsible for their own care

• We need to think about what makes policy makers accountable or not accountable - we need to hold them accountable - to monitor performance - to capture what is going on in programs on the ground.

• We need a short list of guiding principles to be used by decentralized circles of discussion between governments and institutions to promote transparency for the P-CII

• We need to tap into the young entrepreneurs and the old fogies - meet in the middle.

• We need to be aware of who could possibly be opposed to the idea of the P-CII - this awareness has a fundamental impact on our why - what - & how.

• We need to include the hacker communities - the growing or leading edge people from the community as part of our convening’s.

• We need the P-CII to also conduct research.

• We need to understand that there is an enormous gap between the goals as they are created in NY at the UN and how they get translated and actually lived or not lived in the countries and areas where the goals end up being realized or not.

• We need to create a narrative - to start with a case - a scenario - e.g. - how are we going to achieve 100% global literacy rate - this could be a scenario for the P-CII.

• Stanford can host a policy maker summit around this issue - this could be one of our next efforts - a starting point.

• We believe that skillful network engineers is vital for building and maintaining a thriving global internet.

• We need to link patients together that share the same conditions so they can support each other.

• We need to understand the importance of regulation - it's not just policy - regulation has perhaps played a stronger role.

• We need to bring together people from very disparate organizations - the how becomes troublesome because we each experience a different kind of how - and we determine on our own on how to take it further - there is no one how.

• We need to engage with the external agents that connect with public goods provision - enabling thinking functions inside countries.

• We need to create and Institution or Center at Stanford - that is tied to the legacy of Doug Engelbardt - with the branding and principles related to the Doug - to convene a broad range of participants - as a convening vehicle function.

• We need to engage governments - to have something compelling for them to learn - to become part of this effort - and to understand why they aren't.

• We need to also get governments to discuss what we can do with the internet - how it can be used - as well as the infrastructure issues of who should build what and how - the what we can do is a better strategy for connecting with governments

• We need to focus regulation on the social aspects - the issues of both economic and social regulation are important to focus on moving forward.

• We need to have a series of roundtables focusing on the P-CII - Stanford can help in the convening.

• We need to create a convincing story on what we're doing so it addresses the potential assassins.

• We need to understand the processes that created something like Wikipedia.

• We need to create a dialogue that we take back and continue the dialogue.
