I would avoid adopting or making reference to any governmental proposal, 
even if just as a starting point. If you start from the Argentinian 
proposal, you join the "pro-USG anti-EU" front, and if you start from 
the EU proposal, it's the opposite.

I disagree. This is the most important and most contentious issue on our 
table: I don't see any subgroup being able to work on it satisfactorily. 
I think that all drafting should happen on this list and we should adopt 
a rough consensus rule, i.e. documents cannot be released unless all 
objections have been considered and possibly accommodated.

I respect Avri's and Adam's point of view on oversight, and even share 
it in part, but it is significantly different to other points of view 
that have been exposed in the past weeks, for example Milton's, or 
Stephane's, or Patrick's. I would like to be sure that all these points 
of view are duly reflected in any consensus document.

 > B.INTERNET GOVERNANCE FORUM

Incidentally, you might have noticed that we have already been working 
on text for the part of section 5 regarding the forum. I'm still waiting 
for someone to explain whether we can use that text, or what's wrong 
with it.
