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><br>------------------<br>____________________________________________________________<br>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br> <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org" target="_blank"
