How exactly you do envisage such convention to work, from a legal / 
formal standpoint? Do you imagine it as a document (a mixture between a 
treaty and a contract) signed by governments as well as by the private 
sector and civil society? And if all governments can sign it, how could 
the "private sector" and "civil society" do so? Do you imagine that all 
private companies and all NGOs (and perhaps also individuals) that are 
involved with the Internet would sign it as well? Otherwise, how would 
you make it binding to stakeholders that did not sign it? (Because I 
think that a "convention" is something formally binding, not just an 
open declaration of principles.)

I am not necessarily against this idea, but I don't see how it could 
work in practice.

Thanks,
