[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues In advance of the second phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Tunis, Tunisia, the Number Resource Organization (NRO) has published two important statements. The first is a direct statement about WSIS Phase II and what the NRO is hoping to achieve. The second statement, addressed to representatives of all governments across the world, presents the NRO positions as they relate to the topic of Internet Governance. The RIPE NCC encourages all those in this community to become familiar with the documents and to make their opinions known to those in positions of authority within their organisations and their representative governments. The NRO Statement on WSIS Phase II is available at: http://www.nro.net/documents/nro29.html The NRO Statement on Internet Governance is available at: http://www.nro.net/documents/nro28.html Regards Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
