Dear Members,
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The Internet Society has submitted a <a title="Cmd+Click or tap to follow the link" href="http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/internet-society-written-submission-wsis10-non-paper" target="_blank">
</a><a href="http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/internet-society-written-submission-wsis10-non-paper" target="_blank"><strong>written contribution to the UN General Assembly WSIS+10 Review</strong></a> to be held later in December, in New York. In our submission, we highlight
the two main outcomes we are aiming for:</p>
<p><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" color="black" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;background-color:white"></span></font></p>
<ul style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt">
<li>Preserving the consensus of the 2005 Tunis Agenda that recognizes the distributed model of governance of the Internet where each stakeholder group has its own role and set of responsibilities, while all working together;</li><li>Laying the foundations of an inclusive, people-centered and development-oriented Information Society for the next decade, articulated around three main pillars: 1/ collaborative networks for human empowerment and sustainable development, 2/ collaborative
security for trust-worthy environments, and 3/ collaborative governance where open frameworks lead to successful discussions.</li></ul>

to speak (see the <a href="http://unpan3.un.org/wsis10/preparatoryprocess" target="_blank">
