Dear all,</p><p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:115%">
On behalf of civil society groups organising the
Civil Society pre-NetMundial Coordination Meeting (herein “CS
pre-NM”), we would like to share with you the meeting agenda as
follows.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:115%">
The “CS pre-NM”
is a gathering of over 90 civil society groups from around the world
involved in internet governance and broader internet-related public
policy debates regionally and globally. This is an action-oriented
group with the aim to facilitate the expression of civil society
views and feed them into the discussions at NetMundial and beyond.
You can find a preliminary list of civil society representatives
attending the meeting <a href="http://bestbits.net/events/netmundial-coordination/%20" target="_blank"><font color="#1155cc"><u>here</u></font></a><a name="14565dcc03eddcf4_sdfootnote1anc" href="#14565dcc03eddcf4_sdfootnote1sym"><sup>1</sup></a>.
Example initiatives and statements from members of this group can be
found <a href="http://bestbits.net/" target="_blank"><font color="#1155cc"><u>here</u></font></a><a name="14565dcc03eddcf4_sdfootnote2anc" href="#14565dcc03eddcf4_sdfootnote2sym"><sup>2</sup></a>.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:115%">
The agenda is focused on setting points of
consensus, discussing strategic action and distilling key messages
for members of civil society that are able to pursue common goals,
based on 1) defending fundamental Human Rights; 2) ensuring the Open,
Decentralized and Interoperable Architecture of the Web and 3)
fostering an Open, Inclusive, Democratic and Decentralised
Multistakeholder model of Internet Governance.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:115%" align="justify">
Based
in this three pillars,
in order to have a clear mapping of the state of consensus within
Civil Society, we are convening 3 working groups (Principles, Roadmap
and IANA transition) of resource persons that will be focused until
the day of our meeting on analyzing CS contributions and comments
posted at NetMundial platform to deliver: a) a set of bullet points
of possible ground of consensus and b) a set of questions around key
issues that will require us to have agreement on during our meeting.
Our hope is to honor different CS points of view presented so far,
and quickly air disagreements and the arguments for each approach.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:115%">
We hope we can count on your collaboration to
achieve our goals and, in the end, have a clear message from civil
society that enable those who seek to refine their tactics and
strategies for the Conference to do so.</p><br></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div>
