<pre>Hi, Instituto Nupef in Rio de Janeiro endorses it. It would be great if
the letter had a paragraph in the introductory part reminding Mr
Zuckerberg that it is precisely because of the open, non-discriminatory
nature of the Internet that people like him managed to innovate and
create initiatives such as Google, Facebook, Twitter etc etc. His
company should not contribute to close this door to free innovation now.
fraternal regards

Hi all - we've had some great input from a number of people over the
last few days, and we've incorporated it all into (yet another)
draft of our open letter to Mark Zuckerberg on zero rating, attached.
As you'll see, the substance is mostly unchanged. Here's what we did:
* Moved some text around to make it flow better
* Added some language about "equality of opportunity" the problems
of a two-tiered Internet
* Fixed a few typos and problems of clarity
We'd like folks to consider this current text as *final *minus any
glaring problems. To allow for more groups to sign (including many
in India, who are just now seeing the final text) *we're now closing
this up tomorrow (Tuesday) at COB EST.
*
*Please review the letter and let me know if you can sign*. If your
organization has already signed and is uncomfortable with any
changes, please let me know.
Once this is live, I encourage you to publicize it through social
media and by blog, and to articulate your reason for getting behind
the language - which will also give you an opportunity to voice
criticisms not included in the letter.
