>>
>> Dear people,
>>
>> Regarding the recent recommendations (attached as PDF) produced by the
>> governments of India, Brazil and South Africa in the context of the IBSA
>> initiative (www.ibsa-trilateral.org) and as a consequence of a meeting
>> on Internet Governance held by IBSA in Rio de Janeiro on Sept.02, 2011,
>>    Instituto Nupef has the following comments:
>>
>> The document is presented as the result of an IBSA Multistakeholder
>> meeting and all over the document the meeting is presented as the
>> subject who puts forward the recommendations. We must clarify that there
>> was no such multistakeholder meeting -  Nupef was invited to participate
>> in the IBSA seminar as a Brazilian NGO which has views and experiences
>> to share on the issues of Internet Governance. Nupef has never expected
>> that a document would be produced after the meeting, there was no
>> deliberation on concrete outcomes and no process that would lead to a
>> production of a final document endorsed by those who were present. In
>> our point of view, this subject in the text that presents the proposal -
>> "the meeting" - doesn't exist;
>>
>> Nupef is against the creation of a new body "located within the UN
>> system" dedicated to undertake the roles described in the IBSA
>> recommendations;
>>
>> Nupef doesn't see how such body could "integrate and oversee the bodies
>> responsible for technical and operational functioning of the Internet,
>> including global standards setting;" and why this would be necessary;
>>
>> Nupef recognizes that the IBSA recommendations might be an interesting
>> starting point for a discussion if reformulated and improved, not only
>> in its content but also in the process of its further development,
>> including a wider range of civil society voices in an open,
>> participatory and transparent process;
>>
>> Nupef agrees that close collaboration and concrete action is needed in
>> the field of Internet Governance and strongly suggests that existing
>> dialogue spaces for civil society, government and private sector - such
>> as the CGI.br - and existing communications spaces and structures - such
>> as e-mail lists and foras that have been hosting this kind of
>> collaborative reflection and action for several years - be the space for
>> this exchange and deliberation.
