[bestbits] Further letter proposed by joint civil society committee on composition and role of 1net

[Anja Kovacs]

While this letter has some value, I think we make a big mistake by mixing
up issues about 1net as such (who makes decisions) with issues about the
Brazil meeting, as this letter seems to do. Which are you aiming for
exactly?

If it is questions about 1net as such that this letter seeks to address, I
think these can be handled in a different, and more friendly way for now.
Why not simply raise them in individual capacity on the 1net coordination
list, rather than writing something as antagonistic as this at this early
point in time?

And if it is issues about the Brazil meeting it seeks to address, why not
simply inform 1net about our recent letter of affirmation of the liaisons,
and possibly request for a clarification as to why earlier it was claimed
all representation should go through 1net?

Beyond the latter, we don't really need anything from 1net on this issue,
as we have not considered that network as our main representative or
go-between for questions relating to the Brazil process in any case - since
Bali, we have agreed that that role will be played by our liaisons. I feel
this letter only confuses messaging on this issue.

At least as it stands now, not a good idea at all to send this I feel, and
as long as the purpose of this letter isn't clear to me, I can't edit it
either.

Best,
Anja
