<p>Dear Daniel</p>
<p>Someone else also just pointed that out to me that there are
errors in the online form. The first part of question 4 was not
supposed to be there. It was part of the call for input for the
Gender and Access BPF. When the Secretariat's tech support people
put the call, they must have used the Gender call as a basis, and
then accidentally left in some parts of the other call's
questions.<br>
</p>
My apologies. It is confusing.<br>
<p>Question 4 was supposed to just be:</p>

<p>My two cents and sorry if they are not consensual.</p>
<p>While it is more than welcomed to see the theme of cultural an
linguistic diversity being addressed in IGF during the UNESCO
year of indigenous languages the reading of the 6 questions

focus is the appropriate.</p>

the quality and type of their internet connection impact on
the type of economic activity that women and LGBTQI engage in?
For example, if they do not have access to affordable high
speed broadband connectivity, or if their access is primarily
through social networking platforms?Please list examples of

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Maximizing the use of digital
technologies is certainly a legitimate objective for technology
and application vendors yet it may not be the real issue while
discussing local content production: how about focusing
"meaningful use" rather than "maximized use", production rather
than consumption? What matters is probably much more related to
the themes of <i>information literacy and localization of
languages </i>than to broadband connectivity. <br>
