Here are some points that might clarify the situation. As Matthew noted the statement Preetam is referencing is the one that some of the IEG members had drawn up for the opening plenary based on our submission (info doc 6). I have already submitted it to the ITU on behalf of Matthew, Nnenna, Avri, and myself, but it hasn't been posted yet. </div>
<div style=""><br></div><div style="">We can, as Anriette suggests, try to append the Best Bits statement to the opening statement. This seems to be a more straightforward task than editing the statement to include more content from the Best Bits statement, since it is already submitted. I'm open to both options, but we need to be realistic on what's possible in the timeframe. I haven't heard back from the various people I emailed it to, so I'm not sure of its current status. It might be too late, but it might not be.</div>
<div style=""><br></div><div style="">I think Preetam is trying to tell us that there is no way to upload info docs at this point because the WTPF is over, but we could remind him that some time in late December/early January all of the contributions from the open platform created for WCIT were submitted as info docs and were backdated to the last day of WCIT: <a href="http://files.wcitleaks.org/public/S12-WCIT12-INF-0005!!MSW-E.pdf">http://files.wcitleaks.org/public/S12-WCIT12-INF-0005!!MSW-E.pdf</a></div>

<br>Dear all<br><br>As Matthew has been asked to submit a written statement 'based' on his<br>input, can we perhaps submit an updated version of your input that<br>includes more content from the Best Bits statement? Or is it too late?<br>
<br>Another option....<br>I know Preetam Maloor and he is an extremely nice person. We could ask<br>him to let us submit a new version of Matthew's input that has the 'best<br>bits' statement pasted after the verbal input as a reference doc?<br>
