Governance Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG), we
write to express our appreciation for your openness in
working with us to negotiate the terms of civil
society’s participation in the NETmundial Initiative; in
particular, by accommodating our expectation, drawn from
the NETmundial Principles, that if we are to participate
on the Coordination Council, we should nominate our own
representatives.</font></span></p>

face="Times New Roman">Since our initial agreement on
this principle, we have been consulting with our
constituents about whether civil society ought to avail
itself of this opportunity at all. We must say that
this has been a difficult question, at the end of which
there remain some very significant misgivings across a
broad segment of civil society about the merits of our
prospective involvement.</font></span></p>

"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-au"><font
face="Times New Roman">Among the underlying concerns of
many are that the involvement of the World Economic
Forum in the initiative signals an attempt by economic
and political elites to secure a central role in
Internet governance; that the Initiative has been
organised in a top-down manner that privileges its three
promoters above other stakeholders; and that devoting
time and resources to the Initiative may detract from
other processes such as the Internet Governance Forum.</font></span></p>

face="Times New Roman">On the other hand, others
recognise the opportunity that exists for civil society
to help shape the NETmundial Initiative into a mechanism
(but not the only mechanism) that can advance the
NETmundial roadmap. Despite significant shortcomings in
the NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement stemming from
influence exerted by powerful actors towards the end of
the process, much of the document, including the
roadmap, does enjoy broad civil society support.</font></span></p>

face="Times New Roman">Although we will work with the
NETmundial Initiative’s organising partners to select
willing civil society representatives from amongst those
who self-nominate through the Initiative’s nomination
process, we also outline five simple conditions that we
believe representatives are likely to affirm following
their appointment to the Coordination Council:</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT:
normal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family:
"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-au"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT:
normal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family:
"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-au"><font
face="Times New Roman">1. We would like the
Co-ordination Council to discuss whether CGI.br, WEF and
ICANN should have permanent membership of the
Coordination Council and what that implies. Whilst it is
acknowledged that the above organisations are jointly
funding the operational expenses of the Initiative for
its first year, this might not remain so. We are not
convinced that funding support is sufficient
justification for such a role, and we believe that the
full Coordination Council itself should approve any
permanent seats and what that implies.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT:
normal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family:
"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-au"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT:
normal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family:
"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-au"><font
face="Times New Roman">2. To the extent that a stated
objective of the Coordination Council is "promoting the
distributed Internet governance model,” we want to point
out that the status quo in Internet governance does not
represent the fulfilment of this model. The NETmundial
Initiative should not be used to legitimise existing
inequalities and deficiencies of the present system and
should not hold civil society back from advocating
necessary reforms.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT:
normal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family:
"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-au"></span> </p>

normal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family:
"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-au"><font
face="Times New Roman">3. While we acknowledge the
progressive elements of the NETmundial Multistakeholder
Statement, it is not the final and definitive statement
of Internet governance principles; indeed the Statement
itself acknowledges that it is only a work in progress.
So we do not see the NETmundial roadmap as an immutable
document. We look forward to its refinement and/or
augmentation and hope that NMI ensures a bottom up
collaborative process to undertake this work.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT:

normal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family:
"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-au"><font
face="Times New Roman">4. A key performance indicator
for the NETmundial Initiative must be the extent to
which its activities strengthen and support the Internet
Governance Forum, which remains the most significant
global hub for general multi-stakeholder Internet
governance policy discussions. If the IGF develops the
capacity to assume further activities that currently
might not fall within their capabilities, this should be
facilitated, not opposed.</font></span></p>
