<div>UPDATE ON CIVIL SOCIETY PARTICIPATION IN NET MUNDIAL
INITIATIVE.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please note that Internet Governance Civil Society
Coordination Group (CSCG) participation in the new Net
Mundial initiative is still under consideration. CSCG has
written to the NMI Secretariat and Transitional Council
suggesting that it play a co-ordinating role in the
selection of civil society representatives in a
coordinated bottom up manner, rather than these decisions
being made by the Transitional Council (which has no civil
society representation). This is still under discussion;
however, we do not yet have a proposal with sufficient
clarity for member coalitions to be able to decide on
participation or not. While Just Net Coalition (JNC) has
already determined it will not participate, other members
are waiting for clarity on our proposal for a bottom up
and inclusive procedure for determining civil society
representatives before making any final decisions on
participation.</div>

Does this not constitute an in principle agreement to participate by
the concerned CS actors, if NMI guys agrees to CSCG doing CS
nominations, or something close to that... Further, Is Fadi wrong in
taking that impression and making it public... I think you need to
make the facts such more clear and transparent about what is
happening within the CSCG, what decisions and actions it takes and
so on... parminder <br>

<div>Our letter to the NMI Secretariat and Transitional
Council in no way signifies that any or all CS organisations
have made a final decision on whether to engage with the NMI
in a formal selection process or to participate in the NMI
process.</div>
