>> Dear Colleagues,
>>
>> In an extraordinary meeting on 6 December the United Nation's Commission
>> on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) decided to create a Working
>> Group on Improvements to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) (
>> http://www.intgovforum.org/) with a membership made up only of
>> governments.
>>
>> We believe this decision sets back the model of multistakeholder
>> cooperation under which the IGF was established, and contradicts the
>> instructions given to the CSTD for the establishment of the Working Group
>>
>> The Internet Society has joined the International Chamber of Commerce -
>> Business Action to Support the Information Society, the Internet Governance
>> Caucus, and many other Internet, business, and civil society organizations
>> in sending a letter to the CSTD, asking them to retract their previous
>> decision and to establish an appropriately constituted Working Group that
>> ensures the full and active participation of governments, the private sector
>> and civil society from both developing and developed countries, involving
>> relevant intergovernmental and international organizations and forums.
>>
>> Like the Internet, a multistakeholder approach has been at the core of the
>> Internet Governance Forum's formation and success. We hope that Internet
>> Society Chapters and Members, as well as other organizations, will join us
>> in signing the letter.
>>
>> You may read the full letter, and see the growing list of signatories, and
>> indicated your own support here:
