<DIV>I think there is no way civil society could agree to this in time for a
March 8 deadline even if it were final and totally agreeable now (which it
isn�t). Some individuals might like to sign on to a revised version, but I don�t
think it can be called a 1net statement. A statement by participants of 1net who
care to sign, perhaps. </DIV>

1net:
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While this is a constructive process, it comes far, far too late:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>* Many of us have said repeatedly that we need time in order to go back to
our organisations to authorise statements before we can be associated with them.
There is no possibility we will be able to do that in the time available.</DIV>
<DIV>* As the industry participants on the steering committee have repeatedly
said, they are not representatives but liaisons and need to be able to go back
to their community before major decisions are taken. Whilst CCIA is in the
perhaps unique position that three of our members are represented on the
steering committee, I�m sure that�s not the case for the vast majority of
industry here and I�m sure that even for us, it is necessary for us to go back
to the whole membership before signing on to something as high-profile as this
is. So, suggesting that the steering committee can commit on behalf of all
stakeholders everywhere is simply a non-starter (and I don�t believe industry�s
situation is unique, either).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If this had started two weeks ago, it would perhaps have been just enough
time - barely - to get the process done. A month ago would have been much
better. A matter of days doesn�t begin to be possible. I�ve provided comments to
the survey but only in an individual capacity.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to know if there was any advance notice of this? I don�t
recall seeing anything on this list (but I do not follow it closely anymore so I
might have missed it).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards, Nick<BR>

to create a /1net statement for NetMundial</A>
<DIV style="MAX-WIDTH: 694px; MARGIN-LEFT: 15px; MARGIN-TOP: 20px">
<P>Based on the feeling and importance that /1net should provide some
kind of formal input to the NetMundial meeting in April, we have
specifically developed a statement and process to meet the tight
deadline for submitting input (Saturday 8 March).</P>
<P>The statement is built from the Montevideo Statement, and split up
into the two themes of the NetMundial meeting. There shouldn't be
anything in this statement that is controversial or surprising if you
have been following Internet governance discussions over the past four
months.</P>
<P>A few quick things to note:</P>
<UL
style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 20px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 10px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px">
<LI style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px">Having a /1net statement should not
in any way preclude people from sending their own input to the
NetMundial meeting
<LI style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px">The statement should be viewed as the
broad perspective on Internet governance issues from the /1net
community. There is plenty of opportunity for more in-depth
discussions outside this singular event
<LI style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px">Given the tight deadline, we should
as much as possible avoid suggestions that others will disagree with
</LI></UL>
<P>Process of converging on the content of the statement:</P>
<UL
style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 20px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 10px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px">
<LI style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px">An online survey gives everyone the
opportunity to review each sentence within the draft statement. You
can simply agree with it (obviously the preferred response), you can
"Agree but�" and provide some brief feedback, or you can disagree and
explain why you feel would need to change to the wording in order for
you to agree.
<LI style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px">That survey will run from now until
the end of Tuesday (23:45 UTC),<BR>at which point it will close.
<LI style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px">The results from the survey will be
analyzed to see what changes<BR>could be made to accommodate different
views - and statistics<BR>released to show what the feedback was
(comments will be published<BR>but not attributed).
<LI style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px">On Thursday, a reformed statement
will be put to a second survey sent<BR>to Steering Committee members
who will act as representatives of<BR>their stakeholder groups in
deciding yes or no to specific<BR>statements.
<LI style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px">That survey will close Friday and
/1net coordinator Adiel Akplogan<BR>will review the results and decide
what can be put forward to the<BR>NetMundial meeting as representative
of /1net's view. </LI></UL>
<P>It is far more rushed than is ideal but given the fact that there is
only this week to reach agreement, hopefully you will all see the value
in responding quickly and constructively.</P>
