Since this is not a letter from IGC alone but from a
coalition and since the letter reads well for cs (at
least to me), one expedient manouver is for our
co-coordinators to sign on like - right now - while
you wait say 12hrs for any objections to surface on

If none do, then just remove your names, leave 'IGC'

Subject: [governance] <Urgent> Draft Joint
Letter protesting CSTD WG composition only by
governments<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Dear list,<br>
<br>
The "rumor" that the decision to compose CSTD WG only
by governments<br>
is now proven to be true, decided by very few members
of CSTD.<br>
<br>
I have contacted ICC and ISOC, similar to the joint
letter work we had on<br>
Dec 14 consultation on enhanced cooperation. They
shared the same<br>
concern and worked out with many others mostly at
ICANN Cartagena<br>
meeting including ICANN, government folks etc: UK,
Sweden, US,<br>
ICANN, ccNSO etc.<br>
<br>
Here is the draft text as of now. They plan to send
it shortly, and asking IGC<br>
to join. There may be last-minute minor edit, but it
is almost final.<br>
<br>
I propose that IGC to sign. IF you have any comments
or suggestions,<br>
please reply to this quickly. In general, we need 48
hours to decide,<br>
but in this<br>
special case, we may not have that luxury of time.<br>
<br>
I have prepared our own draft (sorry for the
complication), and now<br>
it is being edited by our nominees for CSTD WG. My
suggestion is<br>
to carry on this draft as well, and send it in
addition to the joint one.<br>
<br>
I will post that draft in a separate email and
welcome your comments.<br>
We will send that and perhaps make statement at Dec
17 WG meeting<br>
if they do not change their decision. We will also
include that and<br>
read that at Dec 14 EC consultation meeting in New
York.<br>
<br>
Sorry for the confusing manner, but this could
happen, and I think<br>
acting quickly to keep the Multi-stakeholder
framework is urgently<br>
needed and important for us.<br>
<br>
I hope you understand and support this.<br>
<br>
best,<br>
<br>

DRAFT<br>
<br>
To Frederic Riehl<br>
Cc Ghana Chair of the CSTD<br>
<br>
We are surprised and deeply concerned by the CSTD
Bureau’s decision<br>
that the Working Group on IGF Improvements mandated
by resolution<br>
(2010/2) of the United Nations Economic and Social
Council (ECOSOC)<br>
will be composed exclusively of member states.<br>
This ECOSOC resolution, which was initially
negotiated during the CSTD<br>
in May 2010 by or in the presence of many of the
signatories below,<br>
asked the Chair of the CSTD to establish a Working
Group to: "seek,<br>
compile and review inputs from all Member States and
all other<br>
stakeholders on improvements to the Internet
Governance Forum (IGF),<br>
in line with the mandate set out in the Tunis
Agenda".<br>
These words are a clear reference to the paragraph of
the WSIS Plan of<br>
Action (Geneva 2003) that led to the establishment of
the very<br>
successful Working Group on Internet Governance
(WGIG) and ultimately<br>
the creation of the IGF itself:<br>
<br>
We ask the Secretary-General of the United Nations to
set up a working<br>
group on Internet governance, in an open and inclusive
process that<br>
ensures a mechanism for the full and active
participation of<br>
governments, the private sector and civil society
from both developing<br>
and developed countries, involving relevant
intergovernmental and<br>
international organizations and forums, to
investigate and make<br>
proposals for action…<br>
<br>
We therefore expected that the composition of the
Working Group would<br>
be strongly inspired by the methodology adopted for
setting up the<br>
multi-stakeholder WGIG, as stated as the CSTD
Vice-Chair’s<br>
recommendation in his report on the meeting he
convened on 16<br>
September 2010.<br>
<br>
The format decided by the Bureau of the CSTD is
contrary to both the<br>
letter and the spirit of the ECOSOC resolution and is
therefore not<br>
acceptable.<br>
<br>
In any event, it is not up to the Bureau of the CSTD
to make a<br>
decision on this matter. This is not a Working Group
of the CSTD, but<br>
rather a Working Group to be convened by the Chair of
the CSTD as<br>
instructed by the ECOSOC resolution.<br>
The CSTD Chair entrusted you with the mission of
implementing the<br>
request made to her. In light of that and the above
information we<br>
urge you to retract the decision of 7 December, and to
establish an<br>
appropriately constituted Working Group consistent
with the WSIS<br>
formulation ensuring “the full and active
participation of<br>
governments, the private sector and civil society from
both developing<br>
and developed countries, involving relevant
intergovernmental and<br>
international organizations and forums”.<br>
