<br><br><div dir="ltr"><span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Dear all,<div><br></div></span><span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div>
<span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Yesterday we had a very long call of the Executive Multistakeholder Committee and we managed to finish the review of Net Mundial initial document (principles and roadmap) from our side. The Secretariat prepared a summary of comments from HLMC members and co-hosts. We also received some track-changed versions of the initial document.</span></div>
</span><span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div><br></div></span></span><span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Based on all those documents we received, EMC tried to introduce changes that would increase the possibility of consensus. Now there is s version 2.0 of the document. We did manage to preserve points that were important in most CS contributions to Net Mundial, such as Human Rights principles. So I see yesterday's meeting as a good step, although there is much more to come. </span><span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"></span><span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div>
<br></div><div>As explained to us, this document will now go to the board and they can introduce changes. We raised our concerns about the legitimacy of the board, particularly on the side of civil society. We hope that the board will have the sensitivity to refrain from making much changes, given that this document is fruit os large amount of discussions in the multistakeholder committees. After the board's agreement, the doc will be available online for public consultation.</div>
