[governance] First prepcom interventions

[Ralf Bendrath]

Thanks for these contributions. I am pleased to see part of the WGIG 
comments of the Privacy & Security WG in Jeanette's statement. The 
International Conference of Data Protection Commissioners that took place 
in Montreux last week has also referred to the summit and sent a strong 
message in its final declaration.

We should pick up on this, in order to use its momentum (tactical details 
over a coffee, some of them are involved in national delegations here and 
should be supported).

Therefore my suggestion: If there are 30 Seconds left, could you please 
add the last sentence below to this part?

Existing text:
<<The recommendations of the WGIG are a great step forward in the WSIS 
discussions around privacy. Now, we all have to make sure that they are 
integrated in any documents adopted at the Tunis Summit. Privacy and data 
protection are too important in the Information Society to be forgotten in 
the struggles over the core technical resources of the Internet.>>

New, to be added at the end:
<<The international conference of Data Protection Commissioners that met 
not far from here last week also has emphasized this and has sent a 
respective message to the WSIS in its Montreux declaration.>>

Thanks!

I am not sure about this. I understood that here they count the overall 
working hours, not per subcommittee. So if they start to have evening 
sessions, we might even get two interventions per day.

Best, Ralf
