There is no response of this. I would think any clarification sought on 
a public statement deserve to be responded to ....

In any case, if what is meant by the statement

"Rather than seeking to address additional issues, we urge the 
Secretary-General to move forward in engaging all stakeholders to 
implement these opinions."

is that WTPF rather than address other issues.....move forward..... to 
implement these opinions......

I am willing to sign.

Can someone please clarify whether the limitation is placed on WTPF and 
on ITU for all times to come....

Thanks. parminder

PS: I do completely agree with Michael though that we should have put 
real development issues in. This would also be in keeping with the 
mandate bestbits gave itself going forward - to get substantive and 
develop a positive agenda, rather than reacting....
