+1. Folks, this is extremely important. <br>
<br>
At our Asia Regional event "Expression, Opinion and Religious
Freedoms" on 3-5 June, we are keeping an extra day 6th June to
discuss WSIS +10. <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.freedomofexpression.asia">www.freedomofexpression.asia</a>. Dr. Anja will be
taking lead on this. Here we wish to use the opportunity to plan and
brainstorm for another regional consultation later in the year, may
be October/November before WSIS+10. <br>
<br>
Since there is no or very little discussion on this in Asia, there
is a session proposed at
Asia-Pacific Regional IGF in Macau as well. APrIGF is early July.<br>
<br>
Will keep you all posted with the developments. <br>
<br>
Best wishes and regards<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi
Having the UN General Assembly review the WSIS+10 in a purely intergovernmental setting entails some real risks, and nongovernmental stakeholders really need to take what opportunities to weigh in the TBD ‘modalities’ of the preparatory process allow.
This is a really important issue that we have discussed in the public Internet governance sessions at the Los Angeles and Singapore meetings, and we will so do so again in Buenos Aires. We’ve also discussed it a number of times in the CCW on Internet governance, alas thus far without getting consensus on submitting a statement.
So I’m very happy to see ISOC moving forward and hope this gets individual/organizational member support. If there were also interest in supporting it at the constituency or stakeholder group level I’d think that’d be worth discussing.
Bill

Dear all
The Internet Society has put together a letter calling for an Open WSIS+10 preparatory process. The letter is addressed to the President of the UN General Assembly and it is now online at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openwsis2015.org/signatories/">https://www.openwsis2015.org/signatories/</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.openwsis2015.org/signatories/"><https://www.openwsis2015.org/signatories/></a>
The first round of consultations for WSIS+10 should take place the week of the 8th of June, in New York. We hope that with this letter, the process that will follow will include all relevant stakeholders vs. governments only.
I hope you consider signing on to the letter.
Cheers

<pre wrap="">watching Congress discuss ICANN
the hearings today make it clear what is the priority list for Congressional concern:
Top of the list: copyright protection
next: security, law enforcement
no mention of open access, protection of communication rights, human rights.
