> Dear friends,
>
>
>
> After the pre-IGF BestBits meeting, it was decided to set up a fluid
> working group to coordinate civil society engagement at the upcoming ITU
> Plenipotentiary Conference. Since the meeting, a group of around  25
> members of civil society have been coordinating various activities:
>
> • Pre-conference knowledge sharing;
>
> • Coordination of specific advocacy efforts;
>
> • Organising on the ground civil society activities in Busan.
>
>
>
> As part of coordinating specific advocacy efforts, the group has developed
> a letter with several specific asks regarding PP Conference processes. Please
> find the letter here: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Z2Rf7Zrxwk .
>
>
> Due to the need to send the letter out as soon as possible, and seeing as
> the letter has already gone through a lengthy process of consolidation
> among the group members, we are requesting that the text be open for
> comments for a period of 24 hours (rather than the standard 48), i.e. until
> 4:00 pm EDT tomorrow. After this, a final text, which we'll try to pull
> together as fast as possible, will be available for 24 hours for
> endorsements.
>
>
> During the 24 hours open for comments, we would encourage members to focus
> on red lines that would prevent them from endorsing the letter rather than
> detailed line by line edits.
>
>
> This is a targeted effort to influence the ITU Secretariat and encourage
> them to do what is in their power to facilitate broader stakeholder
> engagement in the Conference itself. This does not preclude any additional
> advocacy efforts directed at Member States of the ITU, who will, in the
> end, decide the Conference outcomes.
>
>
>
> This letter will be sent to the ITU Secretary General/Secretariat later
> this week, and then to various ITU delegations as an FYI.
>
>
> Special thanks to Matthew Shears and Lea Kaspar for leading the drafting.
>
>
>
> In addition, if anyone else is interested in contributing to the efforts
> of the fluid working group, please drop me a note.
>
>
>
> Very best,
>
> Anne
