68.	We call for, at the conclusion of the transitional period,
examination of the establishment of an Inter-Governmental Council for
global public policy and oversight of Internet governance. Such a
Council, if and when established, should be based on the principles of
transparency and democracy with the involvement, in an advisory
capacity, of the private sector, civil society and the relevant
inter-governmental and international organisations. Such a Council could
be anchored in the UN system and deal with the following issues:
a)	Public policy development and decision-making on international
Internet-related public policy issues;
b)	Oversight relating to Internet resource management including IP
addresses, generic top-level domains and country-code top-level
domains;
c)	Global coordination of Internet governance through dialogue
between governments, the private sector, civil society and international
organisation.

We know what "involvement in an advisory capacity" means now, don't we?
