I've finally got somebody at the ICANN meeting to provide a straight response about what 1net is, according to Adiel Akplogan it is a movement.not just an email list.

Probably best to say an "open mailing list with aspirations of being a movement"

(a movement for folks who want to advance the objectives in the Montevideo Statement

If you want to join the mailing list, it's here: https://nro.net/mailman/listinfo/i-coordination

There's a a bit excitement that has resulted from the appearance of the Brazil Meeting on

scene, as it is a one-time event with the potential to address many of same topics.  Brazil, 

with awareness of the Montevideo Statement and "1net" initiative to advance same, asked

for the very new  "1net" initiative to assist in planning with this meeting.   There are folks

from civil society, academia, and business sectors working to put folks a "1net" steering

committee as fast as possible, and there is a need for similar representation from the 

Technical community.  If you want to help the 1net initiative along and additional be 

involved in a planning a conference on very challenging timelines, then consider both

joining the mailing list and also volunteering on the list for being on the initial 1net steering 

committee. 

Thanks!
