<div class="">You’re right, but you can nevertheless thank
UNESCO for the opportunity to participate on a
multi-stakeholder basis and acknowledge that the outcome
document is a lot richer than it would otherwise have
been because of this.</div>

Sure do so, Nnenna. It will be appropriate. But in the same vein, by
the same standard, also do spend enough time describing the point of
view why a big global coalition finds it so surprising and
disappointing that their should be such active resistance to use the
simple term (and ideal) of democracy, which was turned down saying
that it carries baggage !!?? So democracy today carries baggage.
People who said this would be accountable for it. Also, since when
it is asserted that for UNESCO's Internet related mandate civil and
political rights are meaningful but not economic, social and
cultural rights. Does not right to access Internet, and access
knowledge and information directly connect to and arise from so many
recognised social, economic and cultural rights? Is it not our right
to defend democracy and social/ economic/ cultural rights. What was
wrong that Just NEt asked for. <br>
<br>
Please do also put this point of view, apart from others. Thanks and
best wishes... parminder <br>

<div class=""> This given that Richard Hill on behalf of the
coalition has just disrupted the meeting with a formal objection
to the document due to its omission to qualify references to
multi-stakeholderism with “democratic” (which he incorrectly
stated was not objected to during the last drafting session),
and its omission to include a reference to the International
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Other than
his objection, the document was adopted by the meeting by
consensus.</div>
