So, what about civil society groups making a statement welcoming
the Montevideo statement, especially its commitment to seeing
some substantial progress forward on globalisation of ICANN and
IANA functions, and in this context, 'we present the following
proposal for the consideration and support of the technical
community'. <br>

At least the first part of that (which would be short and simple)
sounds like a potential output from Best Bits in Bali, and would
be a good step towards rapprochement with the technical community
with whom civil society has long been at loggerheads on Internet
governance reforms. Suggest you raise it in the session?<br>

First and the second part are organically linked... I have no desire
to provide legitimacy to a technical community statement on the post
Snowden discontent with global IG mechanisms if it is purely a
public relations exercise, which I would see it to be unless they
(and intermediating civil society) show seriousness in engaging with
clear reform proposals.... parminder <br>
