<DIV>Hi<BR><BR></DIV>An update on online participation on retreat was shared by
one of the participants in a CS group yesterday.<BR></DIV>Participants received
a document which guided them on how to participate and unattributed tweets are
the only way to send information out. <BR></DIV>
<DIV>However, they will be the ones participating on the activities and tweeting
at the same time, if they wish to do so. <BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Therefore, since the call for inputs to retreat is 1 July and there are
other issues there, it is important that civil society groups participants also
send in their input to have their say on retreat discussions.<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best,<BR><BR></DIV>

<P>Many thanks Marilia and Renata. Since time is short and since we
already have several expressions of support for the current letter, with no
concerns expressed, I'm taking the initiative to place it online in its
current form:<BR></P><A href="http://bestbits.net/igf-retreat/"
target=_blank>http://bestbits.net/igf-retreat/</A><BR><BR>There is a short
deadline for endorsements so that the document can be submitted by the IGF
Secretariat's deadline of July 1.<BR><BR>With agreement from Carlos Afonso
I've also put online the "Letter in support of the attributions and
multistakeholder nature of CGI.br" that already had endorsements of 20
Brazilian organizations, and is now gaining support from international
allies:<BR><BR><A href="http://bestbits.net/cgi-br/"
target=_blank>http://bestbits.net/cgi-br/</A><BR><BR>Please endorse either or
both of these statements if you agree with them. Thank you!<BR><BR>

<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>Dear all</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On May 26, I drafted this letter asking for remote
participation and shared with MAG CS</DIV>
<DIV>As retreat nomination period followed, some MAG CS made this
ask to Secretariat directly</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps it is time to revisit the idea</DIV>

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><BR><PRE cols="72">--
