Hi


An update on online participation on retreat was shared by one of the participants in a CS group yesterday.

Participants received a document which guided them on how to participate and unattributed tweets are the only way to send information out. 

However, they will be the ones participating on the activities and tweeting at the same time, if they wish to do so. 


Therefore, since the call for inputs to retreat is 1 July and there are other issues there, it is important that civil society groups participants also send in their input to have their say on retreat discussions.


Best,


Renata

  Many thanks Marilia and Renata.  Since time is short and since we already have several expressions of support for the current letter, with no concerns expressed, I'm taking the initiative to place it online in its current form:


  http://bestbits.net/igf-retreat/

  There is a short deadline for endorsements so that the document can be submitted by the IGF Secretariat's deadline of July 1.

  With agreement from Carlos Afonso I've also put online the "Letter in support of the attributions and multistakeholder nature of CGI.br" that already had endorsements of 20 Brazilian organizations, and is now gaining support from international allies:

  Please endorse either or both of these statements if you agree with them.  Thank you!

    Excellent suggestions, Jeremy. I made some too. I think the letter is really good, raising the issue of transparency and accountability not only from the angle of the actual discussions in NY but also the time for implementation that will come thereafter. I hope we are able to move forward and submit it on the 1st of July.  
    Best wishes,
    Marilia

              Dear all

              On May 26, I drafted this letter asking for remote participation and shared with MAG CS
              As retreat nomination period followed, some MAG CS made this ask to Secretariat directly

              Perhaps it is time to revisit the idea
              https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M3L90bHNv1QzCboqadwd13Qwcxyd2hv5VamBeAUghL8/edit?usp=sharing 


      Thanks Renata, the letter would need a little work if it were resent from broader civil society, but if some of us can do that, we could then put it up on bestbits.net for endorsement, sending it by the 1 July deadline for written inputs to the retreat.  I'm going to make a few amendments myself, so let's see if we can get it into shape together over the next few days.
