<div>Hello,</div><div>.</div><div>Please accept this invitation to you as Chapter-Delegates to participate in the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values and reply to indicate your interest in taking part by sending a mail to me at <a href="mailto:isolatednet@gmail.com">isolatednet@gmail.com</a> or to Alejandro Pisanty, who has consented to be the Chair of this Coalition.</div>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div><br></div><div>The Internet is evolving further while being faced with increasing challenges in the form of assertive legislation by national and regional Governments, direct and indirect pressures on Business to deviate from traditional Internet values and challenges to Civil Society by moves to deviate from the multi stakeholder approach. All this is happening as the IGF transitions from its initial phase of first five years to a new phase which is still being defined.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In this context it becomes all the more important to work on the task of preserving the Core Internet Values. Following the workshop on this theme at IGF Egypt, we have formed the Dynamic Coalition and had the first meeting at IGF Vilnius. Some work has been done so far and it is now time to do a lot more. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Please set aside a bit of your time to take part in this Coalition which could take shape as a productive and significantly valuable exercise to discuss and define the Core Values that must be preserved. Your contribution could be as little as a few hours in total but please do take part to the extent that your schedule allows you and be kind enough to reply to this message, or to me, or the Chair Alejandro Pisanty to confirm your participation </div>
<div><br></div><div><ol><li style="margin-left: 15px; ">A blog has been set up with initial content on the domain <a href="http://coreinternetvalues.org/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">coreinternetvalues.org</a> Please feel free to suggest / add content to this blog.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px; ">A facebook group has been set up at the URL <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?k=group_161525920538727&ap=1" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">http://www.facebook.com/home.php?k=group_161525920538727&ap=1</a> as a closed group now, coalition members to be included one after another. This group is to be opened up for sharing the progress of work with a wider audience.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px; ">An email list is soon to be set up at <a href="http://coreinternetvalues.org/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">http://coreinternetvalues.org/</a> or at any other list server that you might suggest, with moderators to be named. As all the participants of this coalition are serious community participants of a certain stature, the list is expected to be free of trivia.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px; ">We could decide on a conference platform - adobe or WebEx or any other, possibly make a request to ISOC or ICANN for bandwidth and staff support.</li><li style="margin-left: 15px; ">We may have about 20 or more participants initially in this Dynamic Coalition, but we could explore the possibility of expanding the number of participants by reference from within.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px; ">The meeting at IGF would be in the format of a "meeting" (as opposed to a panel discussion) but we may propose discussion leaders for the IGF meeting of this Coalition.</li><li style="margin-left: 15px; ">
All these are initial ideas, open to changes and improvements that you may suggest.</li></ol></div><div>This dynamic coalition would do more work by email, by teleconferencing and by blogging and social networking. We will prepare to have our Second Dynamic Coalition meeting at the IGF during Sep 27-30 at Nairobi, but would also explore the possibilities of face to face meetings before the IGF during International Events such as MAG meetings, ICANN meetings and INet meetings where a good number of the participants of this Coalition would gather.</div>
