        <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 moz-do-not-send="true"
            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>
