[Chapter-delegates] UN request for info on ISOC steps toward enhanced cooperation

[Bill Graham]

Dear Chapter delegates,

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.

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.

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.

best regards,

Bill
