<p>Dear All, </p><p>I signed the<a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/popup/2014/4/Civil%20Society%20Letter.pdf" target="_blank"> Indian Civil Society letter</a> because I thought that a meeting as significant as NetMundial should be especially careful about the process it follows. Multi-stakeholder dialogue is and will always be an enterprise that will need to be handled with a great deal of care. If we seek to replace some inter-governmental processes with MS processes, surely we need to build the same safeguards into the multi-stakeholder mechanisms that exist in government functioning. It is therefore of the utmost importance that transparency and accountability be a part of multi stakeholder dialogue. I found it problematic that these did not feature in the appointments of the Chair, and considered an obligation to point this out. This is of course while maintaing my very high regard for all the people who worked so hard to put NetMundial together - it cannot have been easy to achieve so much so fast.</p>
