(Individual governments support such a <br>statement too but I am not sure it would be possible within the few days <br>available to coordiante enough signatures by governments to make this an <br>all inclusive statement.)<br><br>Right now, a multi-stakeholder statement coming out of this IGF is only <br>an idea that needs further exploration within the respective groups. So, <br>with this email to the bb list and the IGC list I am asking for your <br>opinions to find out if such a cross-stakeholder statement would find <br>support in civil society.<br><br>jeanette<br><br>P.S. Lately, I have been unable to post to the IGC list. If this email <br>does not appear on the IGC list, would someone be so kind to forward it?<br><br>____________________________________________________________<br>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br> bestbits@lists.bestbits.net.<br>To unsubscribe or change your settings, visit:<br> http://lists.bestbits.net/wws/info/bestbits</body>
