<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><big><big>Dear
colleagues and fellow stakeholders of the Internet
Governance Forum: <br>
This is further to our message of September 4th, portions
of which follow:<br>
<br>
At the 9th meeting of the Internet Governance Forum,
various stakeholders discussed their common desire to
request an immediate extension of the IGF mandate, in
order to create stabiity for the organization and
predictability for those engaged in seeking funding for
projects. We have drafted a statement to send to the UN,
to request not just an immediate renewal of the IGF
mandate, but rather an open-ended re-authorization of the
IGF as a voluntary, multistakeholder forum. We request
that other participants in the IGF also support this
message on or before November 1.<br>
....... <br>
