Further if we are to be ascribing so fulsomely to the multistakeholder process should we not also be asking for some rather clearer articulation of the nature of the internal processes of the various stakeholders whom we are accepting as peers in these processes if only to understand the basis from which they are making their interventions.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>M<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> bestbits-request@lists.bestbits.net [mailto:bestbits-request@lists.bestbits.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jeremy Malcolm<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, May 16, 2013 4:30 AM<br><b>To:</b> <bestbits@lists.bestbits.net><br><b>Subject:</b> [bestbits] Last day of WTPF - drafting concluding statement<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>A group of us are here in Geneva for the WTPF, including Valeria from APC, Anja from Internet Democracy Project, Emma and Matthew from CDT, Joana from FGV, Deborah from Access, Lea and Gene from Global Partners, Wolfgang, Avri, Bill Drake and I apologise if I have forgotten any others. As you may have read elsewhere, the draft opinions for the WTPF were adopted with almost no changes, and a late proposed opinion by Brazil on operationalising the role of governments in Internet governance, was discussed but in the end not agreed, and may go to the CWG-Internet for further action. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Today we will have the opportunity to deliver a closing statement at the plenary.
