<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 href="http://mini.me.my/h"
target=_blank>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>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>His Excellency Sha Zukang</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DL>
<DT>Under Secretary General for Economic and Social Affairs
<DT>United Nations<BR>3 United Nations Plaza<BR>New York, NY 10017
<DT><BR>
<DT>Dear Undersecretary General Sha Zukang,
<DT><BR>
<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><BR>
<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><BR>
<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><BR>
<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><BR>
<DT>We understand that limits that have been placed upon the
participation of civil society, 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>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><BR>
<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.
