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

presentation on submissions received").<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>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 <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New
York</st1:place></st1:State> on 14th December.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>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."<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>In this context we are concerned that the
consultations scheduled for 14 December in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State> 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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>We understand that limits that have been placed upon the
participation of civil society, <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>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 <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State>.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
