<font face="Verdana">Dear All<br>
<br>
There are strong indications from all round that Brazil gov may
just be taking the easy expedient to channelise non gov
participation in the Brazil meeting through the 1net structure....
And we know that there was overwhelming feeling among civil
society that this should not be allowed, and we should have a
direct liason. (Civil society outside the active IG kind is even
more strongly of this view). Are we know willing to come out of
our paralysis?<br>
<br>
Lets write a short and succinct letter that we want direct and
independent liason to the Brazil meeting and want to independently
present our liasons directly accountable to us and not through the
1net or whatever...And just forward the four Brazilain names we
have as our liasons... We do not have to change/ expand that
liason structure. Havent the time for that. (and if some people
insist, we can always do it a bit later). The following is a quick
text suggestion... <br>
<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font face="Verdana">We of the undersigned civil society
networks and groups are pleased to note that Brazil has made a
formal announcement of a ............. (put the official name of
the meeting here) . We are happy to help the government of
Brazil organise this meeting and take it to a successful
conclusion. We have chosen the below mentioned four persons to
be our liason to the Brazilian government and also to be put on
any steering committee that may be set up.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Verdana">....</font><br>
<font face="Verdana">......</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Verdana">......</font><br>
<font face="Verdana">...... the names of our four Brazilian
liasons </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Verdana">Please include our above representatives in
all meetings, formal presentations etc that will henceforth take
place regarding the proposed multistakeholder meeting on the
future of the Internet.....</font> We will route our inputs to
the organisation of this meeting through these reps...<br>
