Carolina

Your description of 1Net and its role as seen by LOG is interesting. The 
point is; does civil society agree to this arrangement - of 1Net 
filtering all conversations with CGI... or have we simply become a 
pushover (willing?) for the powerful to make deals among themselves. 
That would be such a shame, and I have begun to get this feeling that we 
are fast getting there if not already there.

/*Do we want to write to LOG/ CGI that this arrangement is not 
acceptable to us? I request that list members give their response to 
this. */

That reminds me: at Bali, this issue was much discussed and four 
prominent civil society groups (IGC, BB, APC and IRP) together agreed 
that, no this arrangement is not acceptable to us (Please let me know if 
this is *not* what people thing got agreed) and decided to send a letter 
to Brazilians to the effect, and also putting forward 4 CS Liaisons, who 
were requested to be invited to all meetings related to organising the 
Brazil meeting. (Quite inexplicably though the drafting and sending of 
the letter got highly delayed even after this decision.)

Caroline, you, and Joana and Laura were 3 liaisons . Why did you not 
keep us posted about what was happening in Brazil... Did you insist that 
you be invited to all meetings? If so, what was their response? Why did 
you not share their response with all of us? Why when, while such is in 
any case the duty of any CS rep, the letter clearly said that the 
Liaisons will keep CS groups posted about developments. However, whereas 
much has happened since that time, I dont remember a single report by 
the liaisons to us. Carlos used to report but then he had to drop out 
since he was made a member of LOG. But what about the three of you?

When after the last LOG meeting, we got the bombshell that it has been 
officially decided that 1Net will as you say 'filter ALL conversations 
with CGI' I wrote repeatedly to this list requesting CS Liaisons to 
bring us to speed about what is happening. In fact, even Ian (and I 
think Jeremy) asked for some information about what was happening. But 
NONE of you responded to any of our requests....

I think. sorry for my words, but this is about  a public duty, and 
seeking accountability about it,  this is a clear abdication of the role 
that you all were given as CS reps... I am sure there must be an 
explanation of this somewhere, in which case please do share it.

Thanks, parminder
