Separately; while I agree that 30-40 emails with yes no etc suddenly
appearing in the inbox may put off some people I also see the advantage
on stating one's vote in full view of the list...<br>
<br>
In any case the charters says that all voting, unless specified with
due reason, will be open, and therefore even if done by a survey tool
the votes must be finally published.<br>

is the final statement on which a 48 hour consensus call is now being
made. Rather than replying with YES or NO here, please wait to receive
a personalised email containing a code that allows you to respond using
a Web-based survey form. If you do not receive this email within 2
hours from now, please check with me off-list.</div>

<div
style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; color: black; text-align: left;">The
online survey link has been sent to all current members of this list.
I realise that some members of this list are subscribed more than
once. I would ask them to respond only once, because responses will be
publicly archived and it will be apparent if more than one response has
been given per person.</div>

</div>
<div
style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; color: black; text-align: left;">If
you have comments beyond a YES or NO, then you may post them to this
list as usual. The use of an online survey form is simply to cut down
on the unwanted (for some) list traffic that a consensus call causes.
Thanks for your participation!</div>

<div>AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE INTERNET GOVERNANCE CAUCUS TO THE
UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY-GENERAL, BAN KI-MOON</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Your Excellency,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (IGC)
congratulates you on the completion and imminent delivery of your
report and recommendations on the desirability of the continuation of
the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), based on formal consultations at
the IGF in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We request that in the interest of an open and transparent
process, and in accordance with established practice, these
recommendations be made available to the annual session of the
Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) in May 2010.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Our request is in line with the views expressed by several
government delegates at the open consultations on the IGF held in
February 2010, to the effect that your report and recommendations
should be presented to the CSTD before being considered by the Economic
and Social Council (ECOSOC) and then by the UN Assembly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The CSTD is formally mandated to engage with all issues of
follow up from the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), and
its specialized knowledge and history of engagement with WSIS issues,
including the IGF, will provide the best basis for an informed
consideration of the issue by the ECOSOC and the UN Assembly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The CSTD also provides relatively greater multistakeholder
involvement than its parent body, ECOSOC, following its "strengthening
... taking into account the multistakeholder approach" (Tunis Agenda,
para 105) pursuant to ECOSOC decisions 2007/215, 2007/216, 2008/217 and
2008/218.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We also respectfully remind you that your report on "enhanced
cooperation" which was presented to the ECOSOC has been referred by the
ECOSOC to the CSTD for its prior consideration. This suggests that
ECOSOC would normally prefer CSTD's views on issues of WSIS follow up
before it considers them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Absent any reason for a departure from established practice,
we therefore believe that your report and recommendations should be
presented to the CSTD to enable widest possible discussion</div>
<div>and engagement of all actors with this very important issue.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for your consideration of this suggestion, for your
leadership, and for your ongoing support of civil society's
participation at the Internet Governance Forum.</div>
