I certainly agree, but each separate issue is fraught with drafting
problems....putting this in the letter would have taken a great deal
of time to agree on what that accountability structure (or even
goals) might be. I think a separate letter/discussion on
accountability ought to be initiated, but I am betting (since
Parminder started the betting thing ;-)) that we will not have
negotiated that letter by November 1. It is well worth figuring out
exactly what that strategy is....much money appears to be spent
putting this process through the UN mechanism, but there are many
risks by taking it outside the UN. Influencing UN accountability
(by attaching strings) strikes me as a daunting proposal but I defer
to you folks who know it so much better than I. <br>

<pre><big>Dear colleagues and fellow stakeholders of the Internet Governance Forum:
At the 9th meeting of the Internet Governance Forum, various
stakeholders discussed their common desire to request an immediate
extension of the IGF mandate, in order to create stabiity for the
organization and predictability for those engaged in seeking funding for
projects. We have drafted a statement to send to the UN, to request not
just an immediate renewal of the IGF mandate, but rather an open-ended
re-authorization of the IGF as a voluntary, multistakeholder forum. We
request that other participants in the IGF also support this message on
or before November 1.
We will be creating a neutral website for this project at
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.IGFcontinuity.org" target="_blank">www.IGFcontinuity.org</a> very shortly, to accept sign-ons of organizations,
countries, and individuals. In the meantime, the undersigned will
collect your signatures and description of your organization if you are
able to endorse this letter by the time of the closing ceremony at IGF
2014. The deadline to be included in the letter presented via the Chair
will be 11am UTC, Friday September 5.
Examples of how you will be listed appear below:
1. Jane Smith Individual
2. Acme Industry Association Association representing 150 manuacturers of widgets
3. State of [x] Country
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
