Regarding the expression "THAT ENHANCED DEMOCRACY", (see paraph 3) again this idea of "ENHANCED DEMOCRACY" is something very odd. Either we wish to RESPECT DEMOCRACY, or we do speak about something we don't know. WHAT IS THE NEXT BEST STAGE OF DEMOCRACY according to the IGC? This is vague enough, and slippery enough to maybe just mention "RESPECT DEMOCRACY". If we look for respecting Democracy, already quite a task then, where would you put the emphasis? I would recommend the idea of legitimacy, clear separation of power and definition of roles, accountability. As I haven't this in this statement, I do really wonder, if we should not all start by simply respecting democratic values, before "ENHANCING ANYTHING" toward something we have no idea about.</div>

Last comment: has this statement value for all the IGC participants as a collective endorsement? Yes, no? If Yes, how did this happen? If No, when and how do you plan to give it legitimacy. Without this I would recommend that the names of people supporting would come at the end of statement, as a sum of individual signature of IGC members, in agreement with themselves, instead of an IGC collective statement? Please detail how this is respectful of Democratic values, or "Enhanced democratic values", if that would already be the case. I might have miss something.</div>
