<div>Here is the same text as just posted, but with the changes
merged and with "civil society" now placed first in the list of
stakeholders; an amendment which Izumi proposed and which ISOC has
agreed to (I doubt ICC will object either).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the point about the number of representatives of
non-governmental stakeholders, it seems that we needlessly assumed the
worst. Re-reading the invitation letter (at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://mini.me.my/h">http://mini.me.my/h</a>) the interpretation
that there will be three representatives does seem the most sensible
one ("the views of civil society and private sector organisations, as
well as the Internet technical community, will be summarized for
presentation by a designated representative, who will base the group's
presentation on submissions received").</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since many of you have already expressed your support for
the letter, I suggest that during the next 72 hours:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Those who previously agreed with the letter, but who do
not agree with the minor changes from ISOC and the ICC, reply to state
your objection.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Those who do not agree with either form of the letter,
please reply to state your objection.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Those who agree and have not already said so, may reply to
say so.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then 72 hours from now (the Charter requires 48 hours) Izumi
and I will determine whether we have reached a rough consensus. Here,
then, is the final text:</div>
<div><br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>His Excellency Sha Zukang</div>
<div>
<div>
<dl>
<dt>Under Secretary General for Economic and Social Affairs</dt>
<dt>United Nations<br>
3 United Nations Plaza<br>
New York, NY 10017</dt>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Dear Undersecretary General Sha Zukang,</dt>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Thank you for your open letter of 7 October 2010, addressed
to civil society and private sector stakeholders, in which you invite
them to participate in consultations in New York on 14th December.</dt>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Quoting resolution 2010/2 of the Economic and Social
Council, the letter explains that these are meant as "open and
inclusive consultations involving all Member States and other
stakeholders with a view to assisting the process of enhanced
cooperation ... in respect of international public policy issues
pertaining to the Internet ... through a balanced participation of all
stakeholders in their respective roles and responsibilities."</dt>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>In this context we are concerned that the
consultations scheduled for 14 December in New York is not in fact as
open and inclusive as the ECOSOC resolution requires. Specifically, we
were surprised that non-governmental stakeholders were invited only to
give written contributions, and to nominate a single representative of
each stakeholder group (civil society, Internet technical community and
business) to speak during the consultations to summarize the
contributions of that non-governmental stakeholder group.</dt>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>In our respectful view this does not amount to the open and
inclusive consultation called for by ECOSOC, but rather is effectively
an intergovernmental consultation with constrained participation by the
other stakeholders who are critical to the continued development of the
Information Society. This runs counter to the principle established at
the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) including that "The
international management of the Internet should be multilateral,
transparent and democratic, with the full involvement of governments,
the private sector, civil society and international organizations.” In
addition, paragraph 71 recognizes enhanced cooperation involves all
stakeholders in their respective roles and responsibilities.</dt>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>We understand that limits that have been placed upon the
participation of civil society, </dt>
business and the Internet technical community stakeholders in this
consultation are said to be as a result of space constraints at the
United Nations complex in New York.<dt>
<br>
</dt>
<dt>Might we suggest, then, that due to the importance of
securing wide and inclusive participation of all stakeholders in this
consultation, the date and venue be changed to the Palais des Nations
in Geneva, perhaps following the open consultations of the Internet
Governance Forum (IGF) that are already scheduled for 22 November
2010 or that a larger venue be found at the UN in New York.</dt>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Thank you for your ongoing support of the multi-stakeholder
process of Internet governance, and for considering the important
concerns we have raised above. We look forward to receiving your
response in due course.</dt>
