See if the following works. (At the airport, leaving for Geneva. So

(proposed statement begins)<br>
<br>
IGC proposes three themes for main sessions for IGF Vilnius: <br>
<br>
Network Neutrality - Ensuring Openness in All Layers of the
Internet
<div><br>
<br>
A Development Agenda for Internet Governance<br>
<br>
</div>
Internet Rights and Principles<br>
<br>
It is significant to note that on the themes of Network Neutrality and
Development Agenda workshops have been organized in a few earlier IGFs,
including 3 hour workshops on both of these themes at IGF Sharm.Thus,
the two topics have considerable maturity within the IGF, while
constituting important issues requiring urgent attention of the global
IG community. The dynamic coalition on Internet rights and principles
is one of the most active DC and has done good work in the area of IRP.
Including IRP as a main theme, apart from the theme's intrinsic
importance, will be a good way to mainstreaming the work of DCs in the
IGF. <br>
<br>
A brief description of the three proposed themes is given below:<br>
<br>
Network Neutrality - Ensuring Openness in All Layers of the
Internet<br>
<br>
Network neutrality has been an important architectural principle for
the Internet. This principle is under considerable challenge as
Internet becomes the mainstream communication platform for almost all
business and social activities. This main session will examine the
implication of this principle, and its possible evolutionary
interpretations, for Internet policy in different areas. Issues about
the openness of the Internet architecture are increasingly manifest in
all layers of the Internet today.<br>

while development has been posed as a cross-cutting theme of

in conceptual and operational terms. To address this gap, the IGC
previously has advocated a main session on A Development Agenda for
Internet Governance, and some its members have organized workshops or
produced position papers elaborating different visions of what such an
agenda could entail. In light of the related discussions during the
Sharm el Sheikh cycle, we renew our call for a main session on this
theme. The dialogue at Vilnius could, inter alia, identify the
linkages between Internet governance mechanisms and development, and
consider options for mainstreaming development considerations into IGF
discussions and Internet governance processes, as appropriate. We also
continue to support the Swiss government’'s proposal to consider
establishing a multi-stakeholder Working Group that could develop
recommendations to the IGF on a development agenda.</font></div>

decision is to include 'Internet rights and principles' in the list,
abstract a short para on it from the earlier statement which is
relatively not very sharp, and in size no longer than the paras on dev
agenda and NN. We shd put it out for a day or so of last comments and
then a final version for a consensus call over 48 hours. <br>
<br>
In the statement we should also mention that special 3 hour workshops
on the two themes of dev agenda and NN were organized last year, which
represents a certain degree of maturity of these themes within the IGF
context. And if 'internet rights and principles' is included as a main
theme, that the DC on IRP has been doing good work in this area for
considerable time now, an dis in fact the most active dynamic coalition
(the much celebrated concept in the IGF).<br>

<p>A Development Agenda for Internet Governance<br>
Development is a key focus of the Tunis Agenda and its mandate for the
IGF. Development also was listed as a cross-cutting theme of the Athens
and Rio conferences, but neither featured a main session that devoted
significant, focused attention to the linkages between Internet
governance mechanisms and development. However, at Rio a workshop was
organized by civil society actors in collaboration with the Swiss
government, Brazilian Internet Steering Committee and other partners
from all stakeholder groupings on, “Toward a Development Agenda for
Internet Governance.” The workshop considered the options for
establishing a holistic program of analysis and action that would help
mainstream development considerations into Internet governance decision
making processes.<br>
Attendees at this workshop expressed strong interest in further work on
the topic being pursued in the IGF. Hence, we believe the Development
Agenda concept should be taken up in a main session at Hyderabad, and
that this would be of keen interest to a great many participants there.
We also support the Swiss government’s proposal to consider
establishing a multi-stakeholder Working Group that could develop
recommendations to the IGF on a development agenda.</p>

<div>How about something like this, which doesn't change the

<div>A Development Agenda for Internet Governance</div>

<div>Development is a key focus of the Tunis Agenda and its
