<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Thank you, Tijani, for a very
useful summary. I have just one clarification on my statement. While I
agree that governments should <i>support</i> the multistakeholder model, my
main point is that we must ensure more <i>government participation </i>in the
IGF. <br>
<br>
In Internet governance, governments are the 'new kids on the block', while in
other international regimes, it was civil society and business that had to
carve out a space in existing inter-governmental arrangements (e.g. climate
change, human rights, food security). Therefore, business, civil society, and
the technical community face the challenge and responsibility of ensuring
substantive government participation in the IGF. <br>
<br>
My statement is supported by <a
href="http://www.diplomacy.edu/igflanguage/geography">Diplo's pilot research
project on the IGF Language Corpus</a>, which shows that only 28% of
governments (54 out of 193 UN member states) have spoken during the IGF process
(preparatory and main meetings) in the six meetings from 2006 to 2011; and even
this has declined over the last few years. <br>
<br>
Substantive government participation will be the make-or-break point for the
IGF and other Internet governance multistakeholder bodies. How to achieve it?
While it won't be easy, it's not an impossible task. <br>
<br>

reaction to this concept was that I find it is a good idea to elaborate more
simple and more precise standards, but I don’t think it will be a third layer;
the so-called “intermediate standards” can only be the same layer as the

The European parliamentarians expressed their support to all those issues, and
introduced a concept of intermediate international standards accepted by all
and easily applicable, to be between the international general principals such

Very interested to know what kind of international standards they were
referring to that fall in between " general principals such as the human
