Agree - thanks Jeremy and Joana!<br>

We should write to the SG, commending him on the preparatory IEG
process for the WTPF (but note the deficiencies of participation at
the WTPF), recalling his "commitment" to raise opening up the CWG,
noting the Swedish, US proposals, and Bestbits comments to date,
building on this from Fontenelle (not sure if we can quote
directly): <i>we would like to highlight that Secretary-General
Hamadoun Touré affirmed he would propose that further discussions
on the subject, within the CWG-Internet, should take place with
participation of all stakeholders, in a format similar to that
used in the Informal Expert Group (IEG) meeting that prepared the
opinions examined by WTPF.</i><br>

<div>This was part of why I was reluctant about
the sign on proposal to hitch the idea of IGF
debating opinions to the vehicle of the failed
Brazilian WTPF text. They don't want it, nor
to move the action-oriented discussion of the
ITU's role to IGF. But Markus wants to
invite Brazil to generate a new input doc that
could serve as the basis for the session on
role of governments in multistakeholderism.
That'd be useful, especially if some other
developing country governments could be
brought on board.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Meanwhile USG is submitting to ITU Council
a doc building on last year's proposal from
Sweden to open the ITU CWG-Internet to
observers. Presumably we might like something
more than the restrictive "open participation"
afforded at WTPF, so maybe a sign on about
that would be useful…? Council meets 11-21
June.</div>

<div style="font-size:10pt;direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma"><br>
Thank you for your e-mail.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:10pt;direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>Regarding the proposal to discuss in
the IGF 2013 the opinion
Brazil presented in the
last WTPF meeting, we
would like to make some
considerations:</div>
<div style="font-size:10pt;direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">
<div style="direction:ltr"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>The opinion presented by Brazil
contains two key ideas,
namely: (a) recognition
of the need to
operationalize the role
of governments in the
multistakeholder model,
and (b) the possibility
that ITU could
contribute to this
through training and
capacity building,
within its competence.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr"> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span><span style="font-size:10pt">We
recognize and support
the legitimacy and
usefulness in
discussing point (a)
in the IGF. We
believe, moreover,
that this discussion
should take place not
only in the IGF, but
in all fora and
institutions related
to Internet
governance, and it
should not be limited
to operationalizing
the role of
governments, but
should include
disussions on how to
strengthen the
participation of the
other stakeholders as
well, in order to
improve the operation
of the system as a
whole.</span></div>
<div style="direction:ltr"> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>With regard to point (b), although
it may also be discussed
in the IGF, it does not
seem right to shift the
discussion there, since
any decision about ITU
involvement in capacity
building and training
initiatives, in areas of
its competence, could
only be taken by ITU
itself and is subject to
the approval of its
members. Nevertheless,
we agree that while
discussing point (a), we
could mention the
opinion proposed by
Brazil as an example of
initiatives aimed at
finding solutions to
ensure that all
stakeholders are
appropriately
participating in the
Internet Governance
model. </div>
<div style="direction:ltr"> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span>Brazil will continue to work with
other countries and with
all concerned
stakeholders in order to
enhance the proposal
which would eventually
be forwarded again to
ITU, possibly in the
CWG-Internet. In this
regard, we would like to
highlight that
Secretary-General
Hamadoun Touré affirmed
he would propose that
further discussions on
the subject, within the
CWG-Internet, should
take place with
participation of all
stakeholders, in a
format similar to that
used in the Informal
Expert Group (IEG)
meeting that prepared
the opinions examined by
WTPF.</div>
