Dear Council Members,

 

In order to set the stage for a positive, constructive community dialogue in Singapore, it has been proposed that the AC/SO leadership, as well as other key actors (see list below), issue a joint statement welcoming the announcement by the NTIA. The statement (see attached) further notes the need for a multi-stakeholder, consensus-driven, open process.

 

Unless there is strong objection to this, I am inclined to be a signatory.

 

Please advise within the next 24 hours if you object to me signing or have any specific concerns.

 

Best regards,

Byron

 

Ps…the proposed statement is not for further distribution at this time
