[arin-announce] Call for Comments on the WGIG Draft Working Papers

[Member Services]

ARIN invites all members of the community to review and comment on the
current draft working papers of the Working Group on Internet Governance
(WGIG). This working group was established through a request of the World
Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) to the United Nations
Secretary-General.

A series of draft working papers prepared by WGIG members can be found at:

http://www.wgig.org/working-papers.html

A template to submit comments on the draft papers can be found at:

http://www.wgig.org/docs/comment-template.doc

Comments should be submitted to wgig at unog.ch.

As stated on the WGIG website:

    "Governments and all stakeholders are invited to comment on these
papers, preferably by making use of this template. Due consideration will
be given to all comments, but use of the template will facilitate
processing feedback. All comments received from governments and WSIS
accredited entities by 11 February 1200 hours GMT will be posted on this
website.

    Comments by other entities or individuals will also be posted,
provided they are relevant to the issues under discussion."

The involvement of the ARIN community is integral to the continuation of
the bottom-up, open, and transparent processes that are used in Internet
number resource allocation.
