views are not put into this document now, our values won't be represented
in the outcome document.  We need comments that support and strengthen
human rights, especially free expression and privacy.  (France has proposed
that intellectual property rights should be listed among the "human rights"
to be centralized in Internet governance principles).  And we need comments
supporting more specifics on bottom-up decision making and accountability
mechanisms for internet governance institutions (like ICANN) such as
external accountability mechanisms and checks and balances of power.  Among
other issues.  Please look for yourself!

appears there will be at least 40 NCUC members in Brazil, maybe more….we’ll
probably be the single largest ICANN contingency there, although staff may
come close.

making this opt in, as maybe some folks won’t want to be bothered.  So if
anyone wants to add multistakeholder comm lines in parallel with all their
civil society channels etc, just let us know and I or someone else will add
you to the Skype, and when the mail list is up I’ll send the subscription
URL.

Coordination meeting, of which NCUC is a co-sponsor
http://bestbits.net/events/netmundial-coordination, and which many of us
will attend.  Also there are invite-based academic pre- and post-meetings
organized by Brazilian NCUC members, and the NM itself on
Wednesday-Thursday.

  I’m not sure how exactly this all works but Adam Peake, who’s a CS on the
Exec. MS Committee can probably answer any questions in his abundant spare
time.

can’t help noting that a number of members I believe will be attending (and
are e.g. listed as being at the Best Bits civil society coordination
meeting or the academic meeting before and after) have not done the Doodle.
 May I therefore ask again that anyone who will be in SP fill out
http://doodle.com/3axp7s5vrgkq9x8r.  I’d like to wrap this up, get it off
my desk and send it to ICANN.

electronic blabbing.

 I’d put up a page on the Confluence wiki (as At Large and probably some
