[bestbits] Fwd: Re: [I-coordination] Nominations to /1Net Steering committee & Brazil Meeting Organising commitees

[parminder]

Please see below my email to the coordinator of 1net, Adiel..

I really find it very inappropriate that after civil society made it 
very clear that they would like to deal directly with the Brazilian 
organisers the below announcement is being made in a business as usual 
manner...

I am less sure about the current intentions of the Brazilian organisers, 
CGI.Br, but my understanding is that they have also decided to deal 
directly with each stakeholder group.

So, not at all able to understand what is happening here...

Request our Brazilian liaisons to clarify, and if needed, obtain 
clarification from CGI.Br.

My understanding is that CGI.Br is the organiser of the 'Brazil meeting' 
and 1net has no official or unofficial status with regard to it... any  
more than any other group which may self organise to engage with the 
important Brazil meeting.

thanks, parminder

Hi Adiel

If I get it right, I read below as asking civil society to send names of 
4 people to you - as coordinator of 1net - for 2 preparation committees 
of the 'Brazil meeting'. Is it so?

I am not sure, but perhaps you know that civil society groups have 
written to the Brazilian organisers that they will like to have a direct 
engagment with them and not through any common front, or any such thing 
(including 1net.)

In the circumstances, I wonder why the below announcement... I dare say 
that it appears to be disrespectful of civil soicety's stand that was 
taken together by a number of civil society groups.

Please allow me to request that we, on this list respect what each group will come up with. It is for each interested group to organise themselves to select their reps and we must respect that.
