Which point are you referring to, Wolfgang? Does your message mean that
you agree we should draft and submit a brief statement based on earlier

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for drawing attention to this again,
Ian.
You are probably right that it will difficult to formulate a
comprehensive IGF
response at this late point in time. However, what would be possible,
and
important, is to express our collective regret that Internet Rights and
Principles has not made it as the overarching theme of the forthcoming
IGF, and
this despite widespread support for this proposal. The MAG should be
requested to heed this call and reconsider its decision. <br>

I am surprised that Internet Rights and Principles is not a session
theme,
given the strong support it gained from all stakeholder groups during
the Open
Consultations. I am also surprised at the objection apparently raised
during
MAG, given that these matters are specifically contained in the Tunis
Agenda
(paras 70 and 42)</span><o:p></o:p></p>

I am surprised to see Emerging Issues dropped. While agreeing that the
sessions
at Rio and Hyderabad on this subject were less than optimal, I think
this is
largely because we have not clearly defined what his session should
achieve and
how we should go about making the session effective.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Emerging
Issues should not be about issues emerging during the conference. It
should be
taking a longer term view of the issues that will arise in Internet
Governance.
An IGF that doesn't look past the immediate issues on its agenda is one
that
has little choice but to be a reactive body discussing only the status
quo, in
a media environment where change is rapid. Today's Internet is nothing
like the
Internet of 20 years ago - and the Internet 20 years hence will again
be vastly
different. If IGF is not able to look at longer term issues and take
them into
account it will largely weaken its capacity to be effective.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
