Yes. India's <a href="http://www.itforchange.net/sites/default/files/ITfC/india_un_cirp_proposal_20111026.pdf" target="_blank">CIRP
proposal</a> is very similar. Only better developed, and with
clear multistakeholder input systems. With a few differences,
India's propose a body inside the UN, and the European Commission
proposal, one outside. India proposes 50 country members, and
European Commission’s proposal 12. <br><div class="im">
