with some thematic lists on IG, we have managed to draft this short and
direct statement to president Dilma in support of her speech at UNGA.

We had/have a time constraint, as it is meant to be delivered personally to
the president tomorrow morning by our dear Carlos Afonso. So I'm sorry if
this is popping up in your inbox as something already closed for more
comments.

It is* now* *open for endorsements here:* http://bestbits.net/brazil-66-unga

(Note that, to avoid spam, the platform will send you a confirmation email
to you inbox. Please, do not forget to confirm so your name will show up in
the endorsements list)

I (and, I believe, everyone that kindly contributed in such a short period
of time) fully encourage you/your organization to support it and spread the
link as widely as possible. Having a diverse list of endorsers would be
very important for helping Marco Civil to be approved and for straightening
CGI.br political position in our national scenario, which also sets some
interesting standards for internet policy procedures/principles worldwide.

Our deadline for signatures for the version to be delivered tomorrow to the
president is *today (Thursday, 26th) at 22:00 (Brazilian time).  *The
statement is also copied below.

Thanks a lot for all the contributions and efforts in such a sort period of
time.

all the best

Letter from International Civil Society Organizations to President Dilma
Rousseff in support of her statement at the 68th Session of the UNGA

Your Excellency,

We, the undersigned organizations and individuals from around the world,
committed to the development of the Internet and its use for advancing
social and economic justice, would like to express our strong support for
the statement delivered this week by your Excellency at the 68th Session of
the United Nations General Assembly. We commend you for taking a leading
role on these issues and would like to:

   1. Fully endorse the five principles enunciated on the occasion, in
   clear accordance with the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee=92s
   Principles for the Governance and Use of the Internet.
   2. Stress the importance of the timely adoption of the Brazilian Draft
   Bill of Internet Rights (Marco Civil da Internet) in a way that upholds
   these principles and endorses the innovative and democratic process in
   which it was conceived.
   3. Commend the courage of Brazil in expressing disapproval and demanding
   explanations from the USA about the procedures of illegal interception of
   information and data, framing it as a grave violation of human rights and
   of civil liberties
   4. Reinforce our support for the Brazilian multistakeholder model for
   Internet governance led by CGI.br.

We express our deep appreciation for your serious commitment to social
justice and development, of which an open, stable, and reliable Internet is
a fundamental pillar.
