Agreed Matthew. We must develop a statement from NCUC. <br class="">

I really encourage everyone to sign on. We need to ensure that
the final stages of the WSIS+10 review remain as open to
stakeholder engagement as possible.
<br class="">

I would be very supportive of a statement from NCUC to this effect
also.

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.
<br class="">
<br class="">
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.
<br class="">
<br class="">
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.

Dear all
<br class="">
<br class="">
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
<br class="">
<br class="">
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openwsis2015.org/signatories/">https://www.openwsis2015.org/signatories/</a>
<br class="">
<br class="">
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.
<br class="">
<br class="">
I hope you consider signing on to the letter.
<br class="">
<br class="">
Cheers
<br class="">
