<div dir="ltr">Excellent suggestions, Jeremy. I made some too. I think the letter is really good, raising the issue of transparency and accountability not only from the angle of the actual discussions in NY but also the time for implementation that will come thereafter. I hope we are able to move forward and submit it on the 1st of July. <div>Best wishes,</div><div>Marilia</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 8:24 PM, Jeremy Malcolm <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jmalcolm@eff.org" target="_blank">jmalcolm@eff.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Thanks Renata, the letter would need a little work if it were resent
from broader civil society, but if some of us can do that, we could
then put it up on <a href="http://bestbits.net" target="_blank">bestbits.net</a> for endorsement, sending it by the 1
July deadline for written inputs to the retreat. I'm going to make
a few amendments myself, so let's see if we can get it into shape
together over the next few days.<br>
