academic organizations has produced this public declaration in defense

of the multistakeholder nature of CGI.br and its attributions.




LETTER IN SUPPORT OF THE ATTRIBUTIONS AND MULTISTAKEHOLDER NATURE OF CGI.BR




24-6-2016




The Internet Steering Committe of Brazil, CGI.br, a multistakeholder

commission, has a crucial mission in the development of the Internet in

Brazil. In particular, CGI.br supervises the actions of NIC.br - a

non-profit private civil society organizationm in charge of carrying out

the management of all activities derived from policies defined by the

Committee. Decree Number 4829, of September, 2003, describes

attributions of CGI.br, which include:




- proposing policies and procedures regarding the regulation of Internet

activities;




- recommending standards for technical and operational procedures for

the Internet in Brazil;




- establishing strategic directives related to the use and development

of the Internet in Brazil;




- promoting studies and technical standards for network and service

security in the country;




- coordinating the allocation of Internet addresses (IPs) in Brazil and

registration in the ".br 




- collecting, organizing and disseminating information on Internet

services, including indicators and statistics;




- be represented in national and international technical forums related

to the Internet;




- to adopt administrative and operational procedures so that Internet

governance in Brazil follows internationally accepted standards,

enabling it to celebrate agreements and partnerships.




These activities, fully funded by private income derived from

distribution of domain names and IP numbers, are essential for the

operation and development of the Internet in Brazil. These attributions

are being carried out in a multistakeholder approach, with participation

of civil society, academia, technical community, private sector and

government.




This pluralist feature has been the basis for the charter of principles

which is at the origin of the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the

Internet ("Marco Civil da Internet"). The success of this pluralist

practice has turned CGI.br into a worldwide reference on Internet

governance, considering that since its creation in 1995, and even in the

preparation of the Decree of 2003, any change in its structure and

operation has been preceded by broad consultations with society,

including significant participation of civil society and academic

organizations.




In order to protect the stability, security and quality of the work

which has been and continues to be carried out and developed by the

Committee, the undersigned organizations affirm the centrality of CGI.br

to develop activities absolutely vital for the Internet of today and

tomorrow in the country, stressing the importance of preserving the

above attributions, as well as the pluralist, multissectorial nature of

CGI.br.
