I wonder if civil society groups have any response to the below...<br>
<br>
this issue was first brought to the notice to global civil society
groups a few weeks back when almost all civil society organisations
from India wrote a letter against appointment of Subi as co chair of
NetMundial... It was most disappointing to face a stony silence from
the global networks with regard to that representation, which is
indeed disrespectful of the Indian civil society.<br>
<br>
Now, we have a <a
href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/executive-of-telecom-giant-that-aided-nsa-spying-is-on-india-s-cyber-security-panel/article1-1205483.aspx">newspaper
report</a> which not only produces evidence of plagiarism against
Subi but , much more importantly, also shows clearly who is behind
her installation as NetMundial Co chair - the US big business. And
still no response.<br>
<br>
May I request the IGC co-cos to take up this issue. And also 1Net
steering committee members, and civil society members of the
executive committee and high level committee. <br>
<br>
At least please respond to the issue.<br>
<br>
If civil society reps wont respond to this issue, I am not sure
what they would respond to, and in which manner they then
'represent' civil society... Here there is practically the entire
Indian civil society involved in IG writing a representation, about
issues that are now further exacerbated by the <a
href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/executive-of-telecom-giant-that-aided-nsa-spying-is-on-india-s-cyber-security-panel/article1-1205483.aspx">news
report</a> in a top national daily of India. And we find no
visible support. <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
