Dear Carlos

I understand that the local organising group will meet in a few hours 
from now...

I will request you to let them know that civil society groups stand by 
their decision to communicate their nominees for various organising 
committees directly to the local organising group (LOG) ... All other 
kinds of communication from the civil society side will also continue to 
be done from civil society side directly to the LOG, and later, as 
appropriate to the relevant organising committees. We do not intend to 
mediate any such communication through 1Net or any such other group.

I will add as a personal opinion that: Brazil/ CGI.Br has taken the 
political role of organising this important meeting; it cannot now shirk 
from the corresponding political responsibilities, by passing them on to 
others who have not been given the needed legitimacy. The world sees and 
approves Brazil as the host and organiser of this meeting, and it will 
be best if they are able to continue to do so. Any change of perception 
would have important bearing on the legitimacy and success of the meeting.

I would also like to request LOG to give civil society Liaisons - the 
names being already communicated to them - equal status and involvement 
in your meetings and decisions as, apparently, is being given to some 
other non governmental groups.

In this regard I also request the Liaisons to be in contact with the 
LOG, and also with us.

Thanks and best regards

Parminder
