I understand that it is too late to alter what you did, but it seems odd to me that we would not mention that rather obvious mandate the proposed code of conduct would give to authoritarian states to suppress internet-based expression that they viewed as “destabilizing” their government. That, to me, is far more important than any imputed absence of civil society. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> governance@lists.cpsr.org [mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jeremy Malcolm<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, September 27, 2011 8:38 AM<br><b>To:</b> "Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"<br><b>Cc:</b> governance@lists.cpsr.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [governance] Re: CS letter to UNGA<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 27/09/2011, at 3:29 PM, Kleinwächter, Wolfgang wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Hi<br><br>here is a very first draft of the letter.

Due to the compressed timescale available to us, Izumi and I have agreed that we won't be holding the usual 48-hour consensus call after the discussion on this draft closes. Instead we will determine whether there is a rough consensus based on the comments (especially objections) received as we fine-tune this draft text over the next 24 hours. In the interim, I will reach out to other civil society networks and other stakeholder groups to ascertain whether they will sign on to the final text. Thanks for your understanding of this deviation from our usual procedures.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>-- <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Dr Jeremy Malcolm<br>Project Coordinator</span></b><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><br></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Consumers International</span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><br></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:gray'>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</span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Consumers International (CI) is the world federation of consumer groups that, working together with its members, serves as the only independent and authoritative global voice for consumers.
