<font face="Verdana">We should certainly seek IGC endorsement. This
is too important a matter for IGC to do nothing about - I mean if
we are not contemplating our own statement...<br>

Since there isnt much time to give endorsement, co- coordinators
should initiate the call for possible endorsement right away... Thanks,

Should the coordinators take the relative silence to mean that unlike in
regard to the HTML5 issue, it is generally felt that in this particular
advocacy activity, an endorsement from the IGC is not likely to help,
and therefore we should not bother going through the steps to make the
decision for the Caucus to endorse the statement (or not) ???
Greetings,

There's ongoing work to create an international civil society letter
to US Congress to follow up from the HRC statement.
The BestBits list has been advertised as the primary locus for these
discussions, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.bestbits.net/wws/info/bestbits">http://lists.bestbits.net/wws/info/bestbits</a>
The draft statement is at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://igcaucus.org:9001/p/your_name_here">http://igcaucus.org:9001/p/your_name_here</a>
(As far as the igcaucus.org pad server is concerned, it's a statement
with the somewhat confusing name "your_name_here" - you're not
actually supposed to put your name there.)
The planned timeline is:
10amEST, Friday - Letter closed for edits, so Michael can proceed with
final clean up
12:00EST, Friday - we need this letter to be in a site (Jeremy?)
12:30EST, Friday opens for signatures in the website
Monday morning - deliver in DC (who will do this?)
Is there interest for the IGC to endorse this?
If by the time that the letter is finalized, there are several
expressions of support and no objections, I'll issue a formal
consensus call.
Greetings,
Norbert
