reasoning for exclusion and request that the MAG revisit this subject given the
wide support which has been expressed. Given that these matters are
specifically contained in the Tunis Agenda (paras 70 and 42) we do not see lack
of definition as a reason for exclusion. However, if it is not possible to
include this concept until it is defined within IGF, we ask that the IGF 2009
include a prominent plenary space to establish this definition, in
preparation for more comprehensive discussions in future debates and
meetings.</span></font><font color=navy><span lang=EN-US style='color:navy'><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
