...<div class="im"><br>It means that only governments would have voting powers in a such a council, but their power to make changes to the policy drafted by the multistakeholder group would be limited. They would be able to approve the policy or not, and they would be able to adjust it slightly to their realities, but any suggestion of substantial changes would lead to a re-exam of the proposal by the multistakeholder group.<br>

A variant on this is what I proposed by way of a consociational bureau for the IGF: read pages 294 to 297, 466 to 467, and 471-474, and 478-482 of my book at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=G8ETBPD6jHIC" target="_blank">http://books.google.com/books?id=G8ETBPD6jHIC</a>.</div>
