I cannot understand the fact that BB contradicts a public statement made at Netmundial by publishing this text.

I cannot understand that sentence
To be truly multistakeholder is to not just admit, but to welcome and integrate those whose opinions differ from your own, and to give others time to understand and evolve their perspectives.
We should welcome diverging opinions, to give others time to understand and evolve how right are the others? Who are the others(1)? and the others (2)

I cannot understand this language
We also need to understand the symbolic and policy impact of what happened in Sao Paulo.
Who is that stupid that he/she needs to understand something different from his/her own judgement on what happened or didn't happen in SP?

If CS had a long term commitment, it would with no doubt understand, that life is full of red line that cannot be overpassed. This is why CS should raise a stronger voice, as it did at the end of Netmundial. That was a clear message to other parties present at Netmundial.

This statement seems like a call to funders: please keep funding us, we are nice people. No offense. Please come back. Well indeed let's go back to kindergarden policy.

This is unfair and ridiculous on all accounts. Where is CS dignity in this kind of volte-face?

Therefore it is a minus one for me.

It grow from 1 page to almost 2. I do feel we have reached a point where the text is closed and round. So I write to you to ask you consider signing it. It bring reflections on the NetMundial results. I hope this is more representative of how many of us feel. And I do think it is a good closure step.  It was in a google document until recently, but Jeremy did the favor to put it online, behind a password.
