I am good with this, supporting this sounds like a good plan.

Albert Einstein once said that “Insanity is doing the same thing over and
over again and expecting different results.”

Hello advisors. The statement linked below is very aligned with the
principles we developed. I think we should sign on. Easy thing to do.
Deadline is July 15th.
There has been lots of activity in this area, with an IGF in Norway
dedicated to the subject, and current discussions going on in Geneva. But I
have stepped back from it all since the completion of the consultations
with the coalition organized by GAC and ISED. I felt our participation at
the level was our best shot at any influence. The rest is up to the people
on the ground. However, showing solidarity by signing on to statements like
this is still possible. I see the Canadian Youth group has signed on. No
other Canadian group yet.
Joel, I wonder if ISOC Winnipeg would consider signing on.

Subject: Joint Statement WSIS+20 Review
Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2025 19:51:17 +0000
From: info(a)youthigf.de <info(a)youthigf.de> <info(a)youthigf.de>

Dear Team of Telecommunities Canada,
My name is Claire Patzig, and I am reaching out on behalf of the German
Youth IGF, alongside other supporting NRIs and civil society organizations.
In the current version of the IGF elements paper, several core aspects -
namely multistakeholder approaches, the role of the IGF, the role of NRIs,
and the principle of technology neutrality - are either missing or
insufficiently represented. At the Open Consultation in Oslo these concerns
were widely raised. We strongly believe that a joint contribution from NRIs
and CSOs across the globe would carry significantly more weight and
visibility than individual statements.
To address this, we have drafted a concise joint statement highlighting
the key points we collectively wish to see included in the final version of
the paper.
You can access the statement here:
*https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K7km90ZWqc-EqDN14ULR4roM_NqXruhePz6R0IOPaX0/edit?usp=sharing
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K7km90ZWqc-EqDN14ULR4roM_NqXruhePz6R0...
Our aim is to submit this joint statement as a written contribution by *15
July*. We are aware that the short timeline differs from the usual
inclusive processes. However, if the content aligns with your chapter's
ongoing priorities, we warmly invite you to *sign the statement*. If
you'd like to exchange views or need further clarification, we would be
happy to arrange a conversation.
We kindly ask you to review the draft and let us know by *10 July* if you
would like to be listed as a supporting organization. Your input will be
essential in ensuring this joint contribution is both inclusive and
impactful.
Warm regards,
Claire Patzig
