I appreciate your intent to find a middle way, but being invited as a non-member of the WG to speak at a meeting isn't real multistakeholderism, isn't consistent with the Tunis Agenda, and isn't terribly attractive. I don't see why nongovernmental should help in such a scenario, personally.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Dec 17, 2010, at 5:44 PM, Marilia Maciel wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Brazilian speech, Dec 17th, morning session CSTD:<br><br>QUOTE<br><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Brazil welcomes the way

Brazil would like to thank you very much, Madam Chairperson, for all
the consultations made about the establishment of this working group:

provided us an example of how dealing with a such a complex process in a transparent way, not in a black box approach"</p><br>UNQUOTE<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Centro de Tecnologia e Sociedade<br>FGV Direito Rio<br>
