[with IGC coordinator hat on]

In view of a very significant consensus process already having taken
place on (among other mailing lists) the IGC mailing list, the IGC
will be considered to be endorsing this letter by consensus unless a
timely objection against this is raised.

For definitiveness, the re-revised, totally completely closed now,
version of the statement is also included below.

I will announce the definitive closing time for potential objections
asap (as soon as I know the definitive time by when the IGC's decision
is needed), in any case any objection posted before TODAY 21.00 BRT
(Brasília time), that is midnight UTC, will be considered to be timely.

Greetings,
Norbert

== letter text follows ================================================

Letter from International Civil Society Organizations to President
Dilma Rousseff in support of her statement at the 68th Session of the
UNGA September 26, 2013 Statements

Your Excellency, We, the undersigned organizations and individuals from
around the world, committed to the development of the Internet and its
use for advancing social and economic justice, would like to express
our strong support for the statement delivered this week by your
Excellency at the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
We commend you for taking a leading role on these issues and would like
to:

1. Fully endorse the five principles enunciated on the occasion, in
   clear accordance with the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee’s
   Principles for the Governance and Use of the Internet.
2. Stress the importance of the timely adoption of the Brazilian
   Draft Bill of Internet Rights (Marco Civil da Internet) in a way
   that upholds these principles and endorses the innovative and
   democratic process in which it was conceived.
3. Commend the courage of Brazil in expressing disapproval and demanding
   explanations from the USA about the procedures of illegal
interception
   of information and data, framing it as a grave violation of human
rights 
   and of civil liberties
4. Reinforce our support for an extension into broader spheres of
   Internet Governance of the  experiences from the Brazilian
   multistakeholder model of Internet governance, led by CGI.br.

We express our deep appreciation for your serious commitment to social
justice and development, of which an open, stable, and reliable
Internet is a fundamental pillar.
