<div dir="ltr">Hi fellows,<br><br>I am totally against IGC joining the NetMundial Initiative in WEF, for the reasons described in the Just Net Coalition' statement: <a href="http://justnetcoalition.org/NMI-neoliberal-caravan" target="_blank">http://justnetcoalition.org/NMI-neoliberal-caravan</a> <br><div class="gmail_extra"><br>Regards,<br>Hindenburgo Francisco Pires<br><div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;background-color:transparent"><span style="font-style:italic"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;background-color:transparent"><span style="font-style:italic">Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro</span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;background-color:transparent"><span style="font-style:italic">Departamento de Geografia Humana</span></div></div><i>Sítio-web: <a href="http://www.cibergeo.org" target="_blank">http://www.cibergeo.org</a><br><br><br></i><div class="gmail_quote">2014-11-18 9:32 GMT-02:00 Mawaki Chango <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kichango@gmail.com" target="_blank">kichango@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Dear All,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">You must have heard a good deal about this by now, so I won't repeat the background details. In the middle of the night last night, before hitting the bed after a long and drawn out day playing catch-up with deadlines, I saw that Ian (chair of CSCG) forwarded the NMI Transitional Committee's reply the CSCG enquiry. Basically, they are willing to let the CSCG vet CS candidates to be part of the NMI Coordination Council.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Now the question before us is to get a feel of the membership of CSCG member entities as to whether to get involved in the NMI process or not. I believe this is the last step in the consultations we've been having (with NMI initiators, among ourselves at the CSCG and with the membership of our respective organizations.) After this we should be able to give a definite answer, formulate a definite position about our participation in the NMI process. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">So what do you think? Please get right to the point and be brief. State your preference for IGC Involvement or No involvement and, if you care to provide us with such, I would be grateful to you if you could keep your supporting argument in one short paragraph (as we just want to take the "temperature of the room" if you see what I mean.) </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Thank you for your understanding.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Best regards.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Mawaki </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"> </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div>
