<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>

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>
