The following applies to the whole caucus debate, not only to McTim:

Come on, please. We have to accept that other caucuses and groups may have
different priorities, perspectives and needs with regards to Internet 
governance. Try to sincerely understand them, and only propose deletion or 
rejection if you seriously can't live with their proposals.
If you think "this is factually wrong", suggest amended language.
If you only think "these amateurs..." you need to be less arrogant.
If you think "This is politically bad, and I can't subscribe to it at 
all", then say it.
If you just think "it does not make sense to me or is not necessary, but 
does not contradict with my principles and beliefs", then try to accept it.
Other caucuses have been very patient and receptive to changes to their 
chapters...

To say it in another way: If every caucus treats the respective chapter of 
the statement as its "own" and does not allow any changes from others, we 
could hve done this much easier and faster. In that case Karen and myself 
would not have had to waste our time facilitating - we just had needed 
staples instead.

Thanks, Ralf
