<div dir="ltr"><div><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><br></div><div>Best,<br>Anja<br></div><br>

In addition to the nomination of two additional civil society
representatives 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>
