[Gene Kimmelman]

Those in Tunis should discuss when to start talking publicly about this among the participants; from my perspective, it is good to "Get the word out" and not hold back, even if this is being officially sent in the near future (Tuesday, US time) -- I would take advantage of whatever officials and press you can start engaging.  Also, I'm happy to try to get this to the attention of top Washington Post (and other DC key press) reporters whenever you like, to maximize attention in the US Congress/White House.

As a follow-up and to keep up the publicizing dimension we can publicize both letters coming out of this mobilization (to the Un HRC and US Congress) this week in Lisbon at the Euro DIG. IRP have a workshop in rights and responsibilities for internet futures and a flash panel around this current controversy so in this venue, with industry and government reps there we can underscore the points being made.

I've created steering at lists.bestbits.net and will work with Andrew to accelerate the process of forming the steering group to receive from that address today.
