Dear Joana and all<br>
<br>
I like this and am pretty sure APC will support, but I will run it
by members and staff.<br>
<br>
I am not entirely sure this last paragraph is necessary. I think to
some extent it detracts from the main message in the letter which is
about opening the CWG. <br>
<br>

Internet governance bodies, taking advantage of those bodies’
expertise and not attempting to duplicate their functions. These
bodies include those devoted to technical issues (such as ICANN,
the IETF and the RIRs) and those dealing primarily with
non-technical issues (such as the Internet Governance Forum)."<br>

<pre>Dear people,
As you may know, the ITU Council has rejected proposals to open
participation in the Council Working Group on International
Internet-Related Public Policy Issues (CWG-Internet).
That happened in disregard of our previous
request<a href="http://bestbits.net/cwg-internet/" target="_blank"><http://bestbits.net/cwg-internet/></a>,
of contributions from some Member States
<a href="http://files.wcitleaks.org/public/S13-CL-C-0084!!MSW-E.pdf" target="_blank"><http://files.wcitleaks.org/public/S13-CL-C-0084!!MSW-E.pdf></a><a href="http://files.wcitleaks.org/public/S13-CL-C-0069!!MSW-E.pdf" target="_blank"><http://files.wcitleaks.org/public/S13-CL-C-0069!!MSW-E.pdf></a><div>
and
of a statement from the Secretary General at the closing session of WTPF,
where we called for adopting an IEG model of participation within other
meetings of the organization.
The CWG-Internet is a particularly relevant WG, as the Brazilian proposal
on the role of States shall be discussed. Also a very important topic in a
context where "Snowden conjecture" seams to be causing reactions for a
State centric internet governance (at least that's my perception).
Therefore, Deborah, Matthew, Gene, Carolina and I have drafted a response
to submit to ITU. Please, find it bellow, just like the link for the
editable pad:
<a href="https://pad.riseup.net/p/CWG-Internet" target="_blank">https://pad.riseup.net/p/CWG-Internet</a></div>
Your comments are more then welcome. *The plan is to leave it open until
next Monday, 19th.* Hope you find it useful.
All the best
Joana
