It is unfortunate that an attempt was not made to share a
pre-final statement with the group. I tend to disagree, on
principle, with adopting 'take it or leave it' approaches to
development of statements. This was not a controversial area, and
we could have tried drafting a common statement...<br>

That's a fair cop. We'll do better next time.<br>

One, can you pl provide the link to the quoted November statement
- which statement and whose statement is this ...<br>

The word "statement" is a hyperlink to the WCIT statement that we
agreed in November, now at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bestbits.net/statement">http://bestbits.net/statement</a> (and the
previous URL redirects there too).<br>

Secondly, I could not understand the reason and implications of
the following sentence<br>
<br>
"Rather than seeking to address additional issues, we urge the
Secretary-General to move forward in engaging all stakeholders to
implement these opinions."<br>
<br>
Why should civil society recommend that ITU takes up issues like
Internet Exchanges and IPv6 adoption (subject matter of the
'opinions') and not for instance net neutrality, which is not
among the subjects covered in the opinions. Why this artificial
line about what Internet issues ITU may work on? <br>

There is a rationale for this but I'll let one of the others speak
to it.<br>
