reference to the SG's report stating that, and we quote, "Consultations are
under way to start a process towards enhanced cooperation among all relevant
stakeholders with regard to Internet governance, as requested by the <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Summit</st1:place></st1:City>". <st1:place

size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">the process
towards enhanced cooperation, ...will involve all stakeholders". However, the
Civil Society IG Caucus notes with concern that civil society has not been
involved at all in the consultations mentioned in the SG’s report. We do not
even have any information about this consultation, despite directly requesting
the SG office regarding it. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">We request
ECOSOC to ensure that the multistakeholder principle in WSIS follow-up is fully
adhered to as per WSIS documents, in general spirit, and in specific mandates as
in case of the process towards enhanced cooperation, where as mentioned above,
the WSIS injunction for multistakeholder involvement is clearly not being
complied with. The caucus will like to be invited to and involved in these
consultations, along with other civil society groups. Since a lot of civil
society groups interested in IG issues converge at IGF meeting, holding such
consultations on the sidelines of the IGF meeting may be useful. We will also
like to be kept updated on the consultations with other stakeholders.
