I am repeating myself - but at this stage there is nothing to be
done other than welcoming and supporting the initiative, as it is
expressed till now, and extending (and seeking) partnership ...
This doesnt take long to either agree to or not.... And any such
letter would be received with delight by Brazilians and not any
fatigue. I am not able to see adequate, or rather any, reason to
delay this, and not opportunistically leverage the advantage of
immediate and early response, when things are in a formative
stage... parminder <br>

As I wrote on the Best Bits list, CS letters should be received
with a mix of excitement and apprehension, I am concerned that
when we send a third, more detailed letter to President Rousseff
next week, she will simply receive it with fatigue. <br>

Civil society is asking for seats at the table all the time.
The point is what we do when we get there. I think a more
detailed letter in ten days time will have more force. <br>
<br>
Also because we don't have to sit still in the mean time.
There are other ways in which we can make evident to the
Brazilian government that we are interested in working with
them on this and support this idea, including by communicating
with them to find out more directly and by seeing whether we
can work with them on this through the IGF. <br>

Also, not acting when an opportunity presents itself carries<br>
more than just the risk of losing that opportunity, it
carries the<br>
certainty of losing that opportunity.<br>
