And if I may agree with Marie that way to play is prep the press release version of the statement, and..release it.
In which case, not just draft text but an outraged quote of Parminder, maybe a caucus co-chair, including words, like 'undemocratic,' 'threats to privacy and cybersecurity,' would be helpful.
If we throw in a couple more key words, we'll get some play imho.
I mean, if Parminder, Jeremy or Izumi says something spontaneously quotable for inclusion in press release if not in statement text itself.
Not our usual IGC style, but commenting on G8 meetings is not quite our norm either.

Hi,
I a not sure why we want to explain CPSR, its relation is just as a place that host our mailing list. I do not know how much is left of the organizations itself.
If anything we might explain IGC.

Dear all,
May I suggest you send the text in the form of a "regular" press release through Reuters and Agence France Presse. In that case it would be useful to explain in few words what is the CPSR... since when and the different topics it deals with

<pre wrap="">Dear all
I can only confirm what you already know about this meeting. The French
government has a very closed approach to the issue, as can be witnessed by
the recent creation of the "conseil national du numérique", only composed of
business, despite some outcries from different quarters. No
multistakeholderism here.
It would be important to translate the statement in French nonetheless and
to send it to La Quadrature du cercle but also to Le Monde interactif and
other online newspapers. Maybe some other French members on this list can
help...

I think there is merit to make our statement public asap and send heads-up
to G8 and other government members participating in WSIS/IGF processes.

<pre wrap="">If there are people within the G8 who have been part of the IGF
process and are proponents of multistakeholder approach to
development. It may be strategic as well to give them our perspectives
to raise.
The 6 degree connection has been shortened through ICT/
globalisation/networking etc. I am sure we can identify an ICT/ or IGF
maven, a connector and a "salesperson" who can take the issues. These
are from the book, "The Tipping Point". Thanks Parminder and Avri for
the drafts and comments, I have nothing to add to the draft but to the
strategy.

Once we have sent it, it will be fundamental to find ways to disseminate the
message as widely as possible. G8 governments could not care less to what CS
has to say, unless we manage to make some noise and to leave them in an
awkward position. It would be particularly interesting to mobilize French
bloggers. I have the contacts of some people in La Quadrature du Net. Does
anyone has contacts in Arstechnica and Boing-boing? If we manage to be in
these sites, the news may spread virally online.
What about more "traditional" online channels any ideas?
