This is a much more democratic spread then getting root operators as
ICANN's overseers (an overwhelming number from the US, and all from
developed countries) , or even TLD operators, who are mostly from
the US, apart from the root operator/ TLD owners proposal suffering
from the problem of those regulated overseeing the regulators....<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

At the very least, a statement from IGC could reference both proposals

something worth considering.

<pre>Do you mean by the March 8th deadline? Otherwise we may certainly have
this
discussion not only for a possible oral contribution during Sao Paulo
proceedings but also for potential input in further processes beyond Sao
Paulo (I'm sure the NETMundial will net be the end of all this search for
the future of Ig.)
