<pre>The earlier you speak up with contributions to a document, before it goes to a consensus call, the easier it is to incorporate your thoughts. Having said that, Izumi and I have a discretion to make amendments even after the final text has been posted. So if anyone has strong views for or against adding to the network neutrality statement, please speak up now and we can take this into consideration:
"An open internet is based on open standards in such a way that it also resists the creation of any new monopolies in the area of information and communication technologies."
Otherwise, although it may not become part of the written contribution, it can still be raised at the February open consultation meeting orally.
In fairness we have also had another request to add text to the statement, which came off-list, from Yuliya Morenets stating that we should "make reference to marginalised people with regard to all aspects of the ICT (maybe at the last statement)". I responded that at this stage such an addition could probably also only come orally, but if others think we should amend the text of our contribution to include such a reference, please say so within the next 48 hours.
We have to submit the statement by 7 February 2011.
