the EU also, sadly, neglects to mention the role of CS in ongoing 
deliberations - it specifically notes the role of the private sector in 
ongoing developments re internet governance.. and not CS - i think we 
should note this (and please recall jean louis fullsack's comments on this 
in EUC and plenary)

quote:  "a) The importance of ICTs for the competitiveness of industry and 
therefore encourages active involvement of the private sector in the 
Internet governance discussions during the second phase of WSIS."

it does goes on to note MS involvement in implementation of tunis outcomes 
- but that does not necessarily infer CS involvement in IG..

say: " a)     That the European Union will work towards a positive outcome 
of the Internet Governance discussions in the WSIS framework. It will also 
encourage the implementation of the Tunis results in a way that enables 
multistakeholder involvement. In this context the European Union will take 
into account the future development of the Internet, including 
technological and usage aspects."

i raised this with a few EU delegates - a non commital response
