<p><font face="Liberation Sans">Dear All, <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Liberation Sans">Please find enclosed a letter
addressed to the UN Secretary General appealing to him to roll
back the decision for an IGF Leadership Panel. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Liberation Sans">The letter is co-signed by Dr Milton
Mueller, on behalf of the Internet Governance Project, Georgia
Institute of Technology School of Public Policy, and Parmider
Jeet Singh, for IT for Change, and the Just Net Coalition. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Liberation Sans">The letter is cc-ed to
representatives of civil society and technical community groups
requesting them to refrain from sending nominations for the IGF
Leadership Panel, and thus legitimizing it. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Liberation Sans">The letter argues how the IGF
Leadership Panel militates against the basic idea, objectives
and structure of the IGF, and will weaken it.</font></p>
<p><font face="Liberation Sans">Best, parminder </font><br>
