AW: [governance] URGENT: Last call for feedback on CS participation in NETmundial Initiative

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

Thanks Mawaki,

As a former Co-Chair of the IGC, I support the involvement of our Caucus in the NMI. I see this as an opportunity to contribute to IG processes towards objectives which has been on the IGC Agenda since ist creation in June 2003: Bridging the digital divide and a human rights based free, open and unfragmented Internet with access for everybody. NMI is a good platform - based on the Sao Paulo principles - to strengthen privacy and right to freedom of expression.

Dear All,

You must have heard a good deal about this by now, so I won't repeat the
background details. In the middle of the night last night, before hitting
the bed after a long and drawn out day playing catch-up with deadlines, I
saw that Ian (chair of CSCG) forwarded the NMI Transitional Committee's
reply the CSCG enquiry. Basically, they are willing to let the CSCG vet CS
candidates to be part of the NMI Coordination Council.

Now the question before us is to get a feel of the membership of CSCG
member entities as to whether to get involved in the NMI process or not. I
believe this is the last step in the consultations we've been having (with
NMI initiators, among ourselves at the CSCG and with the membership of our
respective organizations.) After this we should be able to give a definite
answer, formulate a definite position about our participation in the NMI
process.

So what do you think? Please get right to the point and be brief. State
your preference for IGC Involvement or No involvement and, if you care to
provide us with such, I would be grateful to you if you could keep your
supporting argument in one short paragraph (as we just want to take the
"temperature of the room" if you see what I mean.)

Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards.

Mawaki
