      In my understanding, the term 'stimuli' refers only to the
      'collective creativity' part and, accordingly, in the part on
      participation of different sectors, Dilma makes more or less the
      exact same points as represented in the Brazilian Internet
      Steering Committee principles.<br>
      <br>
      I dont think that when she seeks that the governance of the
      Internet be such as to stimulate collective creativity, she will
      deny the fact that the Internet is indeed a collective
      creation....<br>
      <br>
      In any case, it will be a pity to judge such an important
      statement merely through the lens of how many times she uttered
      the mantra of multistakehoderism or not.... Her speech is full of
      very genuine concern for people's rights.... that is where the
      real meat and merit lies. parminder <br>
