subtitle because it is too government-centric. I would prefer ‘meaningful participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance’.”<br><br>On the basis of Jeremy’s comment, I changed the suggestion for the overall theme to “Meaningful participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance”. I don’t think that “enhanced cooperation — meaningful participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance”<br>would fly, as that seems to me to be at odds with the interpretation of “enhanced cooperation” in the recent resolution of the UN General Assembly.<br><br>Now Baudounin Schombe has commented:<br> “Meaningful participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance.”<br> This idea is already interesting because the theme is inclusive and<br> involves all stakeholders from all member countries of the UN. I<br> propose this idea accentuated by offering the following, “The need for<br> effective
participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance.”<br> This is to emphasize the importance of the active presence of national<br> actors in the process of decision making on all matters relating to<br> the management of the Internet at the local level. In some African<br> countries, this approach is applied and well oiled. But many African<br> countries are not yet in this logic. And this is where there is reason<br> to believe the strengthening of cooperation.<br><br>What do the others think?<br><br>“Meaningful participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance”<br><br>or<br><br>“The need for effective participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance.”<br><br>or something else?<br><br>Greetings,<br>Norbert<br><br><br><br></div></div><br>____________________________________________________________<br>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br> <a
