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
<br>
Emb. Benedicto Fonseca, Director of the Department of Scientific and
Technological Affairs of the Minister of External Relations - MRE and<br>
Mr. Harmut Glaser, Secretariat of the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee - CGI.br<br>
<br>
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>
