[bestbits] Civil society response to NETmundial 2014 outcome text open for endorsement

[Ian Peter]

The Niels statement was drawn up quickly by a group of about 30 of us 
sitting in the CS quarters of the conference hall after the changed text was 
leaked showing the last minute changes after the text left the two drafting 
committees.

Some of us would have gone further. Some were considering a walk out. The 
text was probably indicative of a more balanced approach given the mood at 
the time.

With a bit of distance from the disappointment at those changes, perhaps 
many feel differently. But it was an honest attempt to capture the mood at 
the time and I am personally glad civil society said something rather than 
nothing.

But with a bit of distance from the event perhaps many of us have other 
thoughts.

Ian Peter

Would have been nice to know who Niels was speaking for -- gave the 
impression of civil society broadly.  Who asked for the opportunity to speak 
and who did they say they represented?
