Good day to all,
I have put a draft statement together based on the emails on this issue (below) for your kind review and comment. We may require more info in the Intro and Final Paragraphs.
Regards
Cintra Sooknanan
====================================================================================================================
[INTRO] At-Large is the component of end-users, not business nor technical community within ICANN’s multi-stakeholder environment. At-Large is represented by the ALAC, which has been essential in driving development of the Internet by maintaining openness and ensuring accountability and transparency.
The ALAC lauds the French Presidency’s objective of the G8 to
- Improve everyone's access to the Internet; - Enable everyone to participate in global networks and promoting respect for freedom of expression and opinion; - Improve security of the Internet and protection of individuals; - Recommend examination of the Internet's economic and technical challenges.[FNOTE1]
We recognise that several internet organizations (including ICANN, W3C, IAB and ISOC) have been invited to participate in the eG8 Forum (24-25 May, Paris) gathering the “leaders of the Internet” and acknowledge that the outcomes of the discussions will be submitted to the G8 itself for discussion.
Therefore, we find it at odds with this objective and the equal-footing awarded to all Internet stakeholders, that the ALAC and other non-commercial actors which promote and represent the end-users were not invited to participate. This omission is particularly blatant, as participation of private sector appears to be tied to sponsorship.
We hope that the French Presidency will achieve success in its objectives but this will only be possible if it can understand and include the perspectives of all stakeholders.

Dear all,
I see that there is indeed support for an ALAC statement! A statement about the defence of the multi-stakeholder model is indeed possible. I would suggest that this needs to be no more than one paragraph - time is of the essence. Is anyone volunteering to put together a first draft? Also - does anyone have an idea about the channel through which we should send this statement and to whom? Kind regards,
Olivier Crépin-Leblond

Olivier, thanks.
But as Izumi mentions, this does not make multistakeholder. Which is a shame. Particularly as participation of private sector seems to be tied to sponsorship (pay and you get a chance to speak... really is a terrible step backwards.)
The multistakeholder environment has been essential in driving development of the Internet, particularly in maintiaing openness and ensuring accountability and transparency. Non-commercial actors have been crucial to this. Shame on the French Presidency for not understanding the thing it's proposing pontificate on.
(this little rant not aimed at the ALAC chair :-))
