[governance] Annan to establish international forum on internet governance

[Veni Markovski]

Dear Vittorio and friends,

I think you are forgetting what paragraph 71 (or 72) says about 
enhanced cooperation - with "participation of relevant 
organizations". The CS and the IG caucus are NOT such organizations. 
Now, perhaps, you will understand that when I was pushing you to form 
such a non-profit, I must have been right. It's still not late, if we 
decide to form it today, and we can make it sooner, rather than 
later. That will give us the right to participate as IG caucus in 
this process.

I haven't actually heard any opposition to the idea, just lack of 
initiative from the group to start the creation of the non-profit.

veni

p.s. there was a delay of one day of my mail postings yesterday - for 
some reasons lists.cpsr.org were unaccessible from my servers, so if 
you don't see it in the forum, perhaps you can post it with your answer?
v.
