<div>The numerous controversies surrounding Internet Governance

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
on Brainstorming, an additional Working Group could be added
to look into this and it would be great Wolfgang if you could

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

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> 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></div></blockquote><div>I would suggest keeping the principles separate. Be good once we get a firm feel of how we want to improve coordination of IGC input in critical areas (brainstorming) that groups can quickly work on gathering input and discussion in various areas.</div>
