Thank you for this. I see that NMI is asking for input on their Terms of<br>
Reference.<br>
<br>
In light of the challenges that you identified in your year end message, I<br>
would propose something like the following for the NMI:<br>
<br>
Recognizing that the Internet is a global resource which should be managed<br>
in the public interest, the NETmundial Initiative will seek to develop<br>
enablers/solutions for distributed Internet governance, ensuring the full<br>
involvement of all stakeholders in their respective roles and<br>
responsibilities, so as to address current pressing challenges, in<br>
particular government actions and inactions, and private sector actions,<br>
that result in restrictions of freedom of speech and of personal privacy; in<br>
mass surveillance; in loss of control of personal information; in<br>
monetization of personal information; in lack of cybersecurity; in<br>
cybercrime; and in lack of universal, equal opportunity, affordable and high<br>
quality Internet access.<br>
<br>
The NETmundial Initiative will also seek to develop enablers/solutions for<br>
distributed Internet governance that will favour the realization of all<br>
human rights, recognizing that human rights are indivisible and that they<br>
include democracy, economic and social justice, and the right to<br>
development; and that governments have primary, legal and political<br>
accountability for the protection of human rights.<br>
<br>
When developing enablers/solutions, the NETmundial Initiative will use<br>
democratic, multistakeholder processes, ensuring the meaningful and<br>
accountable participation of all stakeholders, including governments, the<br>
private sector, civil society, the technical community, the academic<br>
community and users. The respective roles and responsibilities of<br>
stakeholders should be interpreted in a flexible manner with reference to<br>
the issue under discussion.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Richard<br>

Dear Steve and Bob,<br>
<br>
<br>
We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your feedback regarding<br>
the NETmundial Initiative's activities and organization, as outlined in the<br>
recent joint statement issued by ISOC and ICANN.<br>
<br>
<br>
In response to your feedback, the NETmundial Initiative will implement the<br>
following suggested changes:<br>
Draft the Initiative's Terms of Reference through a bottom-up community<br>
consultation process;<br>
<br>
The first meeting of the Coordination Council will now be delayed for at<br>
least three months to allow for inclusive community input;<br>
<br>
This first Coordination Council will be named ‘Inaugural’ with a limited<br>
term in order to emphasize the evolving nature of the structure and form of<br>
the NETmundial Initiative;<br>
<br>
Appoint Dr. Wolfgang Kleinwächter as Special Ambassador to increase<br>
cooperation and ensure open channels of dialogue between the community and<br>
the Inaugural Coordination Council.<br>
<br>
The NETmundial Initiative remains committed to working collaboratively with<br>
all interested parties in helping inform and shape its way forward.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
NETmundial Initiative Transitional Committee Members:<br>
Fadi Chehadé (ICANN)<br>
Richard Samans (WEF)<br>
Virgílio Augusto Fernandes Almeida (CGI.br)<br>
