Some international publications have >given us a favorable echo and we have been supported by various Latin >American and European associations. > >Our first demand, as stated in our Resolution of Quito >(http://www.alfa-redi.org/gic/quito.asp), knowingly the convocation of an >international conference under the auspices of the United Nations, has been >satisfied with the organization of the World Summit for the Information >Society(http://www.itu.int/wsis). > >But there is still work in regard to our second and main demand: the >establishment of an international legal frame for Cyberspace, in order to >insure peace, development and the elimination of the digital divide. > >It seemed that at the beginning our participation in the Summit had been >insured by the ITU; but since then, it occurred that the Secretary General >of the ITU did not consider to invite us for PREPCOM 2. Consequently, we >have to fight for having our place in the Summit, taking into consideration >that our proposal could be adopted by other organizations with whom we do >share the same principles. > >Being conscience that many associations ought to comply with their own >issues, they nevertheless might also take into consideration our proposal >that aims to be equilibrated, neutral and complying with the principal >demands of the civil society organizations. > >Consequently, we do invite you to support our project and its proposal to >"Internationalize Cyberspace"; to join the Declaration of Lima >(http://www.alfa-redi.org/gic/lima-en.asp) and to diffuse it. Together, we >can fight for the same goal: a Free and Open Cyberspace: not so much for us >than for our children. Some say that the future does not belong to us; it is >only rented to us by the next generations. In this, we do believe, and for >this, we do fight. > > >Best regards > >Dr. James A.
