[bestbits] Call for endorsements: Civil Society proposal to open participation in the CWG-Internet at ITU

Mon Jun 10 10:58:43 EDT 2013

Hi all, I just sent the statement to the ITU (SG's office and comms) and
asked it to be included as an information document for consideration at the
session. Please feel free to spread this among your networks and share it
with governments. I will let you know if I get a response from the ITU.

Here's the link again: http://bestbits.net/cwg-internet/

Parminder, I put IT for Change in the list of signatories in the body of
the email, but you still need to confirm your endorsement through an email
you should have received, for it to appear on the website.

Is anyone actually in Geneva and able to monitor the Council's work?

Best,
Deborah
