Dear Chapter delegates,<br>
<br>
We received an email late Friday from the United Nations requesting an update to the 2008 report on the steps ISOC has taken towards enhanced cooperation on public policy issues pertaining to the Internet. The deadline for the response is 15 March. I know that other organizations have received the same request. I am writing to ask you to contribute to our response.<br>
<br>
I have attached the ISOC response to the last consultation. As you will see, it explains the Internet model in some detail, and then focuses on three specific areas where we particularly cooperate with other stakeholders: in public policy, standards, and education/capacity building. I propose to update those comments in shorter form. This time, I would really appreciate hearing from you about areas where the Chapters and Members of ISOC work with the private sector, civil society, governments and international organizations in those areas and other areas of Internet governance.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, the deadline set by the UN is quite short -- we have only 3 weeks to prepare a response, and the ICANN meeting is in the middle of that. I apologize, but would ask if you can please send me your responses by the end of your day Wednesday, 10 March.<br>
<br>
best regards,<br>
<br>
Bill<br>
