  Dear All
   
   I would like to thank and feliciter Divina for his intervention
which alleviates my concerns and brings reponses to my interrogations
I support his matter and shares its points of view; because, to
dissolve the office a voyage without resulting, an eternal restarting,
whom would I still say would resemble?
   
  By supposing that it ya never of perfect work, we could can be to
speak about the reorganization in comparison of the weaknesses and the
gaps which could present the current office. It would be the occasion
to make our car evaluation for the years former chaqu' to its level.
   
    I finish this short matter while also asking the ones and others to
remain plain in our great cultural and linguistic diversity, while
preserving our assets. And especially, that the voice of without voice
is made hear and taken into account.
   

  Yours sincerely

In my Catalan country, there is has proverb that says "Don¹t
sweater the rug from under your own feet, there are plenty of people
out there ready to C so".

I followed the debates one the list concerning the Civil Society
Bureau and I wonder why after all these years of fighting to obtain
has multi stakeholder-partnership, we are undermining ourselves so
inconsiderately.

1) The Nation-states C not ask custom to C so, and they remain
organized around the process (the presidency of the ECOSO for Tunisia
is proof, yew need Be). The CCBI does not move one its positions and
remains mobilized. Why should we C less than them?? Why would we
sweater the rug from under our own feet??

2) We demonstrated that we could participate in this so-called
³governance² process, and even make constructive and influential
proposals. By this fact, we showed to the other actors that we could
manages power. Does are we still afraid of power, the one that we cut
acquired this time, not that of the others? It is not At this training
course that we are going to entrust ourselves blindly to has ³troika²
gold to wait passively that has ³leader² appears. Are these the only
alternate we edge think of? Does That¹s have political fairy bruises
and has mockery of participatory democratic process? What are we
waiting for: man there is has white horse?

3) Civil The Society Office is our only concrete diplomatic experiment
and profit. It is the only interlocutor recognized by the States. It
serfs have connection for has number of coordination decisions. It¹s
not perfect, so let¹s improve it. Its rules and procedures cuts
already been cleaned up: there is has charter, criteria, ‹ all of them
approved and voted in plenary. Why go without it? Let those who C not
want to Be leaves of it anymore withdraw and pass the relay to others.
Let new energies come in, here is the solution, not coil-destruction.

All the more so have urgent decisions are coming up. Have of February,
we are going to need to watch the constitution of the Internet
Governance forum have well have the Establishment of the ECOSOC
commission. Working groups and families need to remain mobilized one
the implementation of the thematic lines. Each of our entities edge
find to eat in the feast of the Societies for shared knowledge. There
is work for all and it is out of the question to leave decisions of
such order to just anybody.

I call one everybody to stay mobilized, with all entities, formal and
informal, including the Civil Society Office. I call one those who
proposed
otherwise to reconsider to their decision and to stay within our
ranks. Let custom remain united in our variety and let custom redeploy
the rug under our feet!

In my Catalan country, a proverb known as: "the carpet under
your own feet does not draw, full people are là-dehors who will not
hesitate to do it".

J¹ai followed the debates on the list concerning the Office of the
Civil Company and I wonder why after all these years of combat to
obtain a multi-partnership, we are cutting us l¹herbe under the feet
ourselves.

1) the States do not ask it to us, and they remain organized around
the process (the presidency of l¹ECOSOC for Tunisia proves it). The
CCBI does not move on its positions and remains mobilized. Why would
we make qu¹eux?? Why would we draw the carpet under our own feet??

2) We showed that we could take part in the process of "governorship",
and to make constructive and influential proposals even there. By this
fact, we showed to the other actors that we could manage the capacity.
Would we be still afraid of the capacity, that which we gained this
time, not that of the others? This n¹est not at this stage qu¹il is
necessary to give it to a "troika" or to await qu¹un passively
"leader" emerges. Are there this the only alternatives of which we can
think!! C¹est a political fairy tale and a mockery of the democratic
participative process! Qu¹est this until we wait: a great man on his
white horse?

3)Le office of the Civil Company is our only concrete diplomatic
asset. He is the only interlocutor recognized by the States. He is
used as coordination and driving belt. It n¹est not perfect, then let
us improve it. Its operation has d¹ailleurs cleansed: there is from
now on a charter, criteria, ‹ the whole approved and voted into
plenary. Why s¹en deprive? That those which do not want to form part
of it any more withdraw and pass the relay to d¹autres. That new
energies do not come, here is the solution, l¹auto-destruction.

D¹autant that certain urgent decisions arrive. As of February, it will
be necessary to take care of the constitution of the forum on the
governorship d¹Internet, one will need s¹assurer installation of
Commission ECOSOC. It will be necessary that the groups and the
families remain mobilized on the installation of the lines sets of
themes. Each one of our entities can find to eat with the feast of the
companies of the shared knowledge. There are work for all and it
n¹est not question of leaving with some decisions of this kind.

J¹appelle everyone to remain mobilized, with l¹ensemble of our
entities, formal and abstract, including the Office of the civil
Company. J¹appelle those which agitated in another direction to
reconsider their decision and to continue the negotiation with us. Let
us remain plain in our diversity and redeploy the carpet under our
feet!

In semi país catalán, a proverbio dice: "No saques will
alfombra it of bajo of keep silent propios black and white, Hay
bastante gente allí will fuera that No van has vacilar in hacerlo"

Sober Seguí los debates el to porvenir del Buro of Civil
Sociedad there me pregunto por qué después of todos estos años of
combate para obtener una colaboración multi-actores, our estamos
cortándo the hierba bajo los black and white nosotros mismo.

1) Los Estados No our lo piden, y quedan organizados alrededor LED
proceso (presidencia LED ECOSO para Tunisia lo prueba). El CCBI No
mueve sober known posiciones y queda mobilizado. ¿Por qué haríamos
menos that ellos? ¿
Will Por qué ¿Por qué saquariamos alfombra it bajo nuestros propios
black and white?

2) Demostramos that podíamos participar in el proceso of
"gobernanza", y hasta hacer allí proposiciones constructivas E
influyentes. Does Por este hecho, the mostramos have otros actores
that podíamos administrar el poder. ¿Acaso todavía tendríamos miedo
LED poder, el that ganamos esta vez, No el of otros? Esto No be Al
estadio that Hay that devolverlo has una "troica" O esperar
pasivamente that a "líder" emerja. Š ¡Its allí tired solas
alternativas in qué podemos pensar! ¡Es a cuento of hadas político y
una burla LED proceso participativo democrático! Qué esperamos: ¿a
sober gran hombre known caballo blanco?.

3) El Buro of Sociedad Civil be will nuestra sola experiencia
diplomática concreta. Es el solo interlocutor reconocido por los
Estados. Sirve of correa of transmisión there of coordinación. No be
perfecto, entonces mejoremoslo. Known organización ya ha sido
saneada: Hay una carta, criterios, - lo todo aprobado y votado in
plenaria. ¿Por qué privarse of el? Qué los that No quieren más
formar starts from el retiren there the pasen it paraded has otros.
Tired Qué nuevas energías vengan, He aquí the solución, No the
car-destruccion.

Más aun cuando ciertas decisiones urgent llegan. Desde Febrero, vamos
has tener that vigilar sober constitución LED foro the gobernanza of
Internet, vamos has tener that establecer Comisión ECOSOC. Los grupos
there tired familias tienen that quedar mobilizados sober the
colocación of mow líneas temáticas. Cada una of will nuestras
entidades puede encontrar para comer Al festín of mow Sociedades of
los Saberes Compartidos. Hay trabajo para todos y No be cuestión of
dejarles has algunos decisiones esta importancia.

Llamo has todos that queden mobilizados, todas entidades conjuntas,
formales E informales, incluido el Buro of Sociedad Civil. Llamo has
los that agitaron in otro sentido that reconsideren known decisión
that continúen the negociación idiot nosotros. ¡Quedemos unidos will
nuestra diversidad of it y redespleguemos will alfombra it there bajo
