<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>So someone please explain to me this fear of telling the world that good governance is in need of and should constantly be in a state of <EM>REFORM</EM>. Doi Moi, Mao's revolution, the New Deal, European Commonwealth, Reforma de Lay. At least Monarchs are naturally(or prenaturally) reformed on an ongoing basis. Each election cycle is a reform. And then I read these good and true opening words from the French contribution:</DIV>
<DIV>""<SPAN class=cftext><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Maiandra GD','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: FR; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">As mentioned during the consultations on the continuation of the IGF held in Sharm el Sheikh, a major value of the flexible format of the IGF is its capacity to constantly evolve its working methods <B>in a self-organizing manner</B>.""</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Why not just be honest???</DIV>
