<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>I have put together a draft statement on Wikileaks for discussion. I think it reads more like a blog post or an op-ed, but perhaps that's not a bad thing - we could look to publish it as one, either in a newspaper or a high-profile online forum like CircleID (and cross-post widely).</div><div><br></div><div>For some time now, the coordinators have been looking for a more effective way for the caucus to collaborate on the drafting of statements. Until now this has been done by posting the statement to the list, receiving comments, and re-posting an updated version every few days. Sometimes emails cross, and sometimes comments are missed. We want to find a better way.</div><div><br></div><div>My experiment with a new system to supplement the mailing list for drafting of statements may be found at <a href="http://igf-online.net/digress.it/">http://igf-online.net/digress.it/</a>. Please go there to read the draft statement on Wikileaks and to add your comments (instructions for doing so are on the site).</div><div><br></div><div>If this goes well, we will try to integrate this facility into our main Web site in the future, together with other facilities from <a href="http://igf-online.net">http://igf-online.net</a> such as the survey tool.</div><div><br></div><div>-- <br>Jeremy Malcolm<br>Project Coordinator<br>Consumers International<br>Kuala Lumpur Office for Asia Pacific and the Middle East<br>Lot 5-1 Wisma WIM, 7 Jalan Abang Haji Openg, TTDI, 60000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia<br>Tel: +60 3 7726 1599<br><br>CI is 50<br>Consumers International marks 50 years of the global consumer movement in 2010.<br>Celebrate with us as we continue to support, promote and protect consumer rights around the world. <br><a href="http://www.consumersinternational.org/50">http://www.consumersinternational.org/50</a><br><br>Read our email confidentiality notice.
