Dear David

Thanks for your interest in the Just Net Coalition, and its membership. 
The following facts may be useful to you in this regard.

The attendees of the mentioned Feb meeting, listed on the Coalition's 
website <http://justnetcoalition.org/> launched the coalition and 
adopted its principles, which are contained in the Delhi Declaration 
<http://justnetcoalition.org/delhi-declaration>. Both the principles and 
the organisational issues, processes etc were evolved at the meeting 
through break out groups and latter adoption of their outputs by 
consensus at the plenary. Even the need or otherwise for such a 
coalition and the name of the coalition were respectively discussed, and 
adopted at the meeting, by full consensus.

Therefore there is a good basis to consider the list of attendees of the 
Feb meeting prima facie as the initial list of members of the Coalition. 
In this background, in general, you and others need to feel no ambiguity 
about Coalition membership and the basis of its statements and positions.

Further, all the submissions and statements that you would have seen are 
adopted by a formal consensus process, with discussion time, 48 hours 
call, and all that, on an elist that contains all the attendees of the 
Feb meeting plus all those who were invited and could not attend for 
some reason. While these additional people can, to that extent, be 
considered as a part of the consensus process for making Just Net 
Coalition (JNC) statements, we have in fact been conservative and not 
listed them as members of JNC anywhere.

In the same spirit of a conservative approach and full due diligence, we 
have asked all attendees and invitees of the Feb workshop to reconfirm 
their membership of the Just Net Coalition, which involves an agreement 
with the Delhi Declaration 
<http://justnetcoalition.org/delhi-declaration>. As Norbert mentions, 
there has been some delay in this work, however it is in its final phase 
right now. As per current information we have precisely 3 people who 
have not re-confirmed membership, all three saying that they agree with 
the principles but do not have organisational clearance. There are 3-4 
others with whom we are still in communication with regard to their 
internal organisational processes to ok joining such a coalition. 
Overall there are considerably more number of organisations and 
individuals that have confirmed membership than are at present listed on 
the JNC website, indicated as attendees of the Feb meeting. The full 
list should be up on the website within a week.

We are happy to respond to any other query about the Coalition. In fact, 
we plan to provide a 'your right to know' link on Coalition's web page 
where all organisational, including financial information, will be 
provided. The same page will welcome anyone who wants any further 
information about the Coalition, providing an email link, with a 
guaranteed response within 2 weeks.
