Dear Jeanette,
I had the impression that there was some kind of agreement on the PREnetmundial text that leaked. Sorry if that was a misunderstanding.
Here's a PREnetmundial v. NETmundial wikidiff (scroll down to "Line 43" to see where the similarities begin):
http://euwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Sandbox%2FNETmundial&diff=16684&oldid=16683
It's just a rough comparison, you could make it much more sophisticated with the help of other tools like Pippilongstrings :-)
Best regards.
//Erik

Hi Erik,
I think this is a great idea but I would suggest a slightly different
approach. As you can see on this list, there has never been consensus,
neither within nor across civil society boundaries. So, I don't think a
consensual postnetmundial doc can be done.
What I would find a valuable exercise is documenting the specific
suggestions made by civil society for each paragraph.
I know that Marilia compiled the comments made on the basis of the first
draft outcome doc. Marilia's work would provide a very good starting
point. Further suggestions could be added to her document.
