feasible.<BR>>>><BR>>>> Please be specific to the wording as much as possible. And of course we<BR>>>> welcome<BR>>>> your constructive suggestions for the handling of this with other<BR>>>> stakeholders as well.<BR>>>><BR>>>> Thank you,<BR>>>><BR>>>> Jeremy and Izumi<BR>>>><BR>>>> His Excellency Sha Zukang<BR>>>> Under Secretary General for Economic and Social Affairs<BR>>>> United Nations<BR>>>> 3 United Nations Plaza<BR>>>> New York, NY 10017<BR>>>><BR>>>> Your Excellency,<BR>>>> Thank you for your open letter of 7 October 2010, addressed to civil<BR>>>> society and private sector stakeholders, in which you invite them to<BR>>>> participate in consultations in New York on 14th
December.<BR>>>><BR>>>> Quoting resolution 2010/2 of the Economic and Social Council, the<BR>>>> letter explains that these are meant as "open and inclusive<BR>>>> consultations involving all Member States and other stakeholders with<BR>>>> a view to assisting the process of enhanced cooperation ... in respect<BR>>>> of international public policy issues pertaining to the Internet ...<BR>>>> through a balanced participation of all stakeholders in their<BR>>>> respective roles and responsibilities."<BR>>>><BR>>>> In this context we are concerned that the consultations scheduled for<BR>>>> New York are not in fact as open and inclusive as the ECOSOC<BR>>>> resolution requires. Specifically, we were surprised that<BR>>>> non-governmental stakeholders were
invited only to give written<BR>>>> contributions, and to nominate a single representative to speak during<BR>>>> the consultations to summarize the contributions of all<BR>>>> non-governmental stakeholders.<BR>>>><BR>>>> In our respectful view, this does not amount to the open and inclusive<BR>>>> consultation called for by ECOSOC, but rather is effectively an<BR>>>> intergovernmental consultation. This runs counter to the principle<BR>>>> established at the World Summit on the Information Society that "The<BR>>>> international management of the Internet should be multilateral,<BR>>>> transparent and democratic, with the full involvement of governments,<BR>>>> the private sector, civil society and international organizations."<BR>>>><BR>>>> We acknowledge
that the restraints that have been placed upon the<BR>>>> participation of private sector and civil society stakeholders in this<BR>>>> consultation are said to be as a result of space constraints at the<BR>>>> United Nations complex in New York.<BR>>>> Might we suggest, then, that due to the importance of securing wide<BR>>>> and inclusive participation of all stakeholders in this consultation,<BR>>>> the date and venue be changed to the Palais des Nations in Geneva,<BR>>>> perhaps following the open consultations of the Internet Governance<BR>> >> Forum that are already scheduled for 22 November 2010.<BR>>>> Thank you for your ongoing support of the multi-stakeholder process of<BR>>>> Internet governance, and for considering the important concerns raised<BR>>>> above. We look forward
to receiving your response in due course.<BR>>>><BR>>>> END<BR>>>> --<BR>>>> ____________________________________________________________<BR>>>> You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<BR>>>> <A href="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org">governance@lists.cpsr.org</A><BR>>>> To be removed from the list, send any message to:<BR>>>> <A href="mailto:governance-unsubscribe@lists.cpsr.org" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:governance-unsubscribe@lists.cpsr.org">governance-unsubscribe@lists.cpsr.org</A><BR>>>><BR>>>> For all list information and functions, see:<BR>>>> <A href="http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/info/governance" rel=nofollow
