[bestbits] URGENT - statement commenting on draft NETmundial text to be posted 8.5 hours from now

[Louis Pouzin (well)]

Congrats for this steep challenge.
Here a few comments.

Surveillance

"arbitrary or unlawful collection of personal data and surveillance" by
States ..

States can declare lawful whatever they do. Isn't there a recent UN
declaration (dec 2013 ?) that could provide some language here.

Internet Infrastructure

Internet is a network of networks and applications using a diversity of
infrastructures, not a singular entity. In this context *"unfragmented"* is
an undefined term without any precise meaning. Suggestion: *interoperable*.
