Here are my first set of comments on the chair's text...

Source: WSIS-II/PC-3/DT/10 (rev 4) - E

Para 52:

As i mentioned earlier, i don't see a clear reference nor mention of  
Civil Society, NGOs and/or other stakeholders. With the reference to  
"multi-lateral" , It seems to imply that only "states" should be  
involved.

Suggestion: Add a specific reference to civil society. Perhaps an  
even better approach would be to add the language from the WGIG  
report that mentions that stakeholders and how they can be involved

- would suggest also reviewing para 58

Para 57:

Suggestion: "model/mechanism" - should it be replaced by "forum" or  
"framework" ?

Para 66:

concern: make sure there's involvement of all stakeholders

suggestion: Add reference to privacy as well (how to link with para 67?)

Para 71, subsection g: Interconnection costs...

question: What is the CS view on this?

concern: Does this raise the issue with Cuba? that of Helms- 
Burton..if so, one should be careful with this sub-section.
