part de Izumi AIZU<br>Envoyé : dimanche 17 octobre 2010 00:00<br>À : <a ymailto="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org" href="/mc/compose?to=governance@lists.cpsr.org">governance@lists.cpsr.org</a><br>Objet : [governance] Draft letter to Under-Secretary-General Sha for comments<br><br> <br><br>Dear List,<br><br> <br><br>Here is draft text for a letter that the Internet Governance Caucus<br><br>proposes to send objecting to the exclusivity of the upcoming enhanced<br><br>cooperation consultations.<br><br> <br><br>While we have asked ICC and ISOC if they are willing to join us to make it<br><br>sort of joint statement, we like to first ask our IGC members to discuss about<br><br>this and, given short time, call for [rough] consensus within a few days if that<br><br>is feasible.<br><br> <br><br>Please be specific to the wording as much as possible. And of course we welcome<br><br>your constructive suggestions for the handling of this with
other<br><br>stakeholders as well.<br><br> <br><br>Thank you,<br><br> <br><br>Jeremy and Izumi<br><br> <br><br>His Excellency Sha Zukang<br><br>Under Secretary General for Economic and Social Affairs<br><br>United Nations<br><br>3 United Nations Plaza<br><br>New York, NY 10017<br><br> <br><br>Your Excellency,<br><br>Thank you for your open letter of 7 October 2010, addressed to civil<br><br>society and private sector stakeholders, in which you invite them to<br><br>participate in consultations in New York on 14th December.<br><br> <br><br>Quoting resolution 2010/2 of the Economic and Social Council, the<br><br>letter explains that these are meant as "open and inclusive<br><br>consultations involving all Member States and other stakeholders with<br><br>a view to assisting the process of enhanced cooperation ... in respect<br><br>of international public policy issues pertaining to the Internet ....<br><br>through a balanced participation of all
stakeholders in their<br><br>respective roles and responsibilities."<br><br> <br><br>In this context we are concerned that the consultations scheduled for<br><br>New York are not in fact as open and inclusive as the ECOSOC<br><br>resolution requires. Specifically, we were surprised that<br><br>non-governmental stakeholders were invited only to give written<br><br>contributions, and to nominate a single representative to speak during<br><br>the consultations to summarize the contributions of all<br><br>non-governmental stakeholders.<br><br> <br><br>In our respectful view, this does not amount to the open and inclusive<br><br>consultation called for by ECOSOC, but rather is effectively an<br><br>intergovernmental consultation. This runs counter to the principle<br><br>established at the World Summit on the Information Society that "The<br><br>international management of the Internet should be multilateral,<br><br>transparent and democratic, with the
full involvement of governments,<br><br>the private sector, civil society and international organizations."<br><br> <br><br>We acknowledge that the restraints that have been placed upon the<br><br>participation of private sector and civil society stakeholders in this<br><br>consultation are said to be as a result of space constraints at the<br><br>United Nations complex in New York.<br><br>Might we suggest, then, that due to the importance of securing wide<br><br>and inclusive participation of all stakeholders in this consultation,<br><br>the date and venue be changed to the Palais des Nations in Geneva,<br><br>perhaps following the open consultations of the Internet Governance<br><br>Forum that are already scheduled for 22 November 2010.<br><br>Thank you for your ongoing support of the multi-stakeholder process of<br><br>Internet governance, and for considering the important concerns raised<br><br>above. We look forward to receiving your response in
due course.<br><br> <br><br>END<br><br>--<br><br>____________________________________________________________<br><br>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br><br> <a ymailto="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org" href="/mc/compose?to=governance@lists.cpsr.org">governance@lists.cpsr.org</a><br><br>To be removed from the list, send any message to:<br><br> <a ymailto="mailto:governance-unsubscribe@lists.cpsr.org" href="/mc/compose?to=governance-unsubscribe@lists.cpsr.org">governance-unsubscribe@lists.cpsr.org</a><br><br> <br><br>For all list information and functions, see:<br><br> <a href="http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/info/governance" target="_blank">http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/info/governance</a><br><br> <br><br>Translate this email: <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_t"
