<p class=MsoBodyText>A number of advisory group members met tonight to discuss
today’s meeting and I am sending this to you and the list to express our
concerns.</p>
<p class=MsoBodyText>Firstly, we were under the impression that even though the
advisory group has yet to be officially reconstituted we were meeting here
following yesterdays open consultation as the advisory group in anticipation of
formal approval from the Secretary General. In fact this meeting has turned
into another open consultation<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>seeking
to set the agenda for and strucutre of the igf.</p>
<p class=MsoBodyText>I want to make it clear that most of us have no problem
with critical internet resources being an agenda item in a main session if
agreed.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>Rather, we are concerned<span
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>that there appear to be fundamental changes
being mooted which are unacceptable to and may lead to the withdrawl of some
non government and perhaps even government participants.</p>
<p class=MsoBodyText>Overall the topics and format of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Athens</st1:City></st1:place> were a success and to ensure the
continued enrollment of all stakeholders should be maintained.</p>
<p class=MsoBodyText>Chief amongst our concerns is the concept, that seems to
have been ‘agreed’ in today’s session, of final recommendations arising from
the igf. In effect, a negotiated document. This is way outside of the mandate
of the igf and is, simply, unacceptable to the majority of non government
people here.</p>
<p class=MsoBodyText>We are dismayed that this meeting seems to have been taken
over by government officials well versed in international manoeuvering or ‘UN
games’. It is likely that this will marginalise the legitimate concerns and
interests of developing countries for whom issues such as access are key. This
is not what these meetings were intended to be.</p>
<p class=MsoBodyText>There is a grave danger that financial support and general
involvement of non government participants will be withdrawn.</p>
<p class=MsoBodyText>I intend to raise these issues at the meeting in the
morning but thought it courteous to let you and the rest of the list know in
advance.</p>
<p class=MsoClosing>Regards,</p>
