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,
<br>
Lea
