[governance] REVISION 4 Draft statement to UNSG on bypassing

[Yehuda Katz]

Jeremy,

I think it wise for you to refresh your understanding of the Secretary-General
of the United Nations [UNSYG] Ban Ki-moon, position.

The role of the secretary-general

Next, although your intentions for directly-contacting the Secretary-General
regarding the IGF are well & good, I suggest that you may find that the Deputy
Secretary-General Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro, would be more effective.

(scroll down to: 'THE POST' for info)

...
The post of Deputy Secretary-General was established by the General Assembly at
the end of 1997 as part of the reform of the United Nations, to help manage
Secretariat operations and to ensure coherence of activities and programmes.
The purpose was also to elevate the Organization's profile and leadership in
the economic and social spheres. ...

The United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, Mr.
Sha Zukang, could also be approched.

IMO: For the most part, I think the moves already made by the UN are a done
deal. The best bet is to focus energies on WSIS III, that door is still open,
the IGF is going to run its course.

Any Communiqué you have should be channeled through Markus Kummer, Nitan
Desai, Chengetai Masango, and Jomo KS. Then Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro and Mr. Sha
Zukang. (protocal)

Please try a combination of these SG-alternate contacts, first.
Good Luck.
