the same, I thought I would pull an email from Wolfgang
Kleinwachter on the same.

<div>For continued dialogue, even with the IGC as per the email

There is sort of a working group for this already, as the IG
Principles you speak of are one of the output documents planned to
be opened for signature at the Best Bits meeting
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://igf-online.net/bestbits">http://igf-online.net/bestbits</a>. Wolfgang had reconfirmed that he
would take the lead in developing it through an online working
group, though he has been quite busy so the work hasn't progressed
far.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile there has been some discussion on the Best Bits list on
whether or not this statement of principles should be merged with
the other planned output from Best Bits, which is a statement to
WCIT about the ITU's role in Internet governance (if you have a view
on that, please feel free to express it either here or on the Best
Bits list).<br>
<br>
This isn't intended to steal any of the IGC's thunder, but rather to
grease the wheels a bit so that the opportunity doesn't slip.
Whilst Best Bits isn't officially under the IGC, it is full of IGC
members, so please feel free to regard the working group as already
formed if this helps. :-) It makes sense for everyone who is
interested to work together.<br>
