share details on RP, please keep us posted and thanks for Skype login.


With best regards

> Hi everyone,
>
> I do not yet have the Remote Participation details from Chengatai for the
> Wednesday OC meeting. I will post if I can, but Rafik Dammak, of the RP
> Working Group has promised to post all information as well, since I will be
> traveling.
>
> Since there are so many things going on Wednesday, I suggest that anyone
> who can meet outside the OC meeting room at 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, and
> then we see if we can have a meeting later on as well. At any rate, I remind
> you that my Skype login is gingerpaque, and ask that anyone who is at the
> meeting connect to Skype so we can follow.
>
> Ian (through RP) or I will read the following previously agreed upon
> statement during the meeting:
>
> The Internet Governance Caucus notes the statement from the Programme
> Paper: "....Some favoured the inclusion of 'Internet rights and principles'
> as a cross-cutting theme". This concurs with the widespread support for this
> concept from various stakeholder groups at the February open consultations.
>
> However we are concerned at the decision to exclude it as a theme this year
> on the grounds that there is "no established definition of this theme and
> that therefore it should not be discussed at the Sharm El Sheikh meeting."
>
> We are surprised by this reasoning for exclusion and request that the MAG
> revisit this subject given the wide support which has been expressed. Given
> that these matters are specifically contained in the Tunis Agenda (paras 70
> and 42) we do not see lack of definition as a reason for exclusion. However,
> if it is not possible to include this concept until it is defined within
> IGF, we ask that the IGF 2009 include a prominent plenary space to establish
> this definition, in preparation for more comprehensive discussions in future
> debates and meetings.
>
> Regards,
> Ginger
