    Hi Jeanette <br>
    <br>
    The import of the statement is both  in the messages, which are
    necessarily high level, and in the broad set of cross-stakeholder
    signatories, which reinforces the messages considerably.  <br>
    <br>
    As it says everyone should put in their own messages as well.<br>
    <br>
    Best.<br>

        Subject: [bestbits] CALL FOR ENDORSEMENTS - Cross-community
        WSIS10
        <br>
        statement
        <br>
        <br>
        Dear friends,
        <br>
        <br>
        For those of you at the IGF, I hope you're enjoying your last
        day in Brazil!
        <br>
        <br>
        Over the past few days, colleagues from the technical community
        have led
        <br>
        on an effort to draft _*a short 1-page statement with key
        <br>
        priorities*_ shared across non-governmental stakeholders to be
        fed back
        <br>
        to the WSIS10 Review process in NY. The idea behind the
        statement is *to
        <br>
        reinforce our common messages* - it does not preclude additional
        <br>
        independent or joint interventions/comments.
        <br>
        <br>
        The statement has already received broad support from the
        technical and
        <br>
        the business communities as well as a number of CS colleagues
        (see
        <br>
        below). It is *_now open for additional organisational
        <br>
        endorsements until 6PM today local time (Brazil)._* If you would
        like to
        <br>
        endorse (and have not already done so), please let me know *by
        6PM
        <br>
        today* and share *your organisational logo* copying in Constance
        from
        <br>
        ISOC (Constance Bommelaer <<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:bommelaer@isoc.org">bommelaer@isoc.org</a>
        <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:bommelaer@isoc.org"><mailto:bommelaer@isoc.org></a>>).
        <br>
        <br>
        Further organisational and individual endorsements will be
        solicited via
        <br>
        the webpage where the statement will be posted shortly. Watch
        this space.
        <br>
        <br>
        Best wishes,
