          <div>While this letter has some value, I think we make a big
            mistake by mixing up issues about 1net as such (who makes
            decisions) with issues about the Brazil meeting, as this
            letter seems to do. Which are you aiming for exactly? <br>
            <br>
          </div>
          If it is questions about 1net as such that this letter seeks
          to address, I think these can be handled in a different, and
          more friendly way for now. Why not simply raise them in
          individual capacity on the 1net coordination list, rather than
          writing something as antagonistic as this at this early point
          in time? <br>
          <br>
        </div>
        <div>And if it is issues about the Brazil meeting it seeks to
          address, why not simply inform 1net about our recent letter of
          affirmation of the liaisons, and possibly request for a
          clarification as to why earlier it was claimed all
          representation should go through 1net? <br>
          <br>
          Beyond the latter, we don't really need anything from 1net on
          this issue, as we have not considered that network as our main
          representative or go-between for questions relating to the
          Brazil process in any case - since Bali, we have agreed that
          that role will be played by our liaisons. I feel this letter
          only confuses messaging on this issue. <br>
          <br>
        </div>
        <div>At least as it stands now, not a good idea at all to send
          this I feel, and as long as the purpose of this letter isn't
          clear to me, I can't edit it either.<br>

              to the High-Level Panel in London, the other members of
              the new joint civil society (steering|nominating|foo)
              committee have suggested another letter needs to go out
              today to curb the claims that the 1net dialogue has been
              making to having a special role in relation to the Brazil
              summit.<br>
              <br>
              Whilst I am personally a little ambivalent about the need
              for this letter, I don't think that it would do harm to
              send it out (with a few proposed edits that I have already
              made).  If you would like to look and propose edits of
              your own, I'll try to get them incorporated before the
              letter goes out.  We can also add it to our own site for
              sign-on endorsements, like with the MAG and HLP letters.<br>
