LETTER FINAL DRAFT<br>
To<br>
Mr. Paulo Bernardo Silva, Minister of Communications -
Minicom
<br>
Mr. Virgilio de Almeida, Secretary for Information Technology
Policy at the Ministry of Science Technology and Innovation -
MCTI
<br>
Mr. Valdir Simão, Special Assessor for the Presidency

We, as representatives of three networks that include civil
society organisations and individuals involved in Internet
governance, are writing with reference to preparations for the
Global Multistakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet
Governance that is planned to be held in São Paulo, Brazil by
April 2014.<br>
<br>
During the eighth Internet Governance Forum in Bali this
year, many of us met in person, and some others participated
remotely and agreed that the following persons would be
delegated to serve as interim Liaisons from across these
networks for purposes of planning the Global Meeting:
<br>
<br>
* Ms Joana Varon Ferraz
<br>
* Ms Carolina Rossini
<br>
* Mr Carlos A Afonso
<br>
* Ms Laura Tresca<br>
<br>
This letter is to express our continuing support for this
arrangement as planning for the meeting takes shape. The above
interim Liaisons shall remain at disposal of the Brazilian
authorities in all matters pertaining to the organisation of
the Global Meeting, and we urge that our Liaisons should in
the context of these preparations be invited to all meetings
with all other constituencies as full participants in this
process. We support their work and look forward to hearing of
progress in their reports back to our networks that are made
up of a broad constituency of civil society groups and
individuals. They have our trust and support.
<br>
<br>
If you have any inquiries about the above matter, please do
not hesitate to contact us at any time, either directly or
through the above Liaisons.
<br>
<br>
Yours sincerely,<br>
<br>
etc<br clear="all">
