The Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus comprises of members from around the world and we would like the opportunity to be included in the mailing list for the planned meeting and to allow us to nominate civil society representatives to represent us in the continued deliberations.

There is an existing text in preparation on the etherpad at
http://igcaucus.org:9001/p/Brazil2014 - maybe you should merge this into
it?  Though, the prevailing view seems to be not to dash off a letter
immediately, but to develop more of a civil society agenda for it,
online from now and at Best Bits in Bali, and to issue the letter after
that.

On a more substantive point, there seems no indication that the proposed
summit will be part of the IGF, though that is not such a terrible
suggestion provided that the MAG's and IGF Secretariat's hands can be
kept out of it.  We don't want them messing up yet another global
Internet forum (no offence intended to MAG members!).
