I have my doubts. If we start cherry-picking issues, where will we
stop? The technical community will say "Well if we're including net
neutrality, why not IPv6 transition?" Civil society colleages will
say (and quite rightly) "If privacy, why not freedom of expression?"
etc. Also, within your examples, affordable access falls into a
different category than the other two, having less to do with global
public policy principles.<br>
<br>
I can see the wisdom of the original pronouncement that we wouldn't
be dealing with particular substantive issues, but rather on
cross-cutting principles and mechanisms.<br>
