good IG is a foundation for a people centred inclusive and
development oriented IS. furthermore, as a global sciality security

- if we add new elements, then we have to enter a discussion of
balance. let's avoid a conceptional discussion.
- suggests:
* dop 48, part of it is missing. add reference that IS is a global

comment on 41-42
para 41.
(add some in regards to issues & roles & responsibilities)
- suggest that wgig report has raised and id some of the issues, and
that it has aided us to understand some of the roles and
responsibilities.
- suggest this, as not all issues have been mentioned nor raised.
nepal
para 39.
- clarification on distribution of resources
chair.
- it is a generic term
Mauritania
- underlines that 39 is a balanced paragraph as it refers to DoP and
principles of IG.
- nevertheless, support iran and saudi arabia's proposals
ghana (africa grp)
- reserve our comments on stakeholders until later
new zealand
- supports approach to para 39
- comment on para 40
* add secretariat to 2nd paragraph (to ack their role)
- should have mention to security and stability of the internet. from
para 6 of wgig report.
- security and stability of the internet is of paramount importance
(from wgig report)
el salvador
- concern that co-ordination be added as it's in DoP.
- add reference to all inclusive information society.
chair
- let's not bombard para 39. let's keep the interventions focused
iran
- re-interate that stay to agreeded text
- principle of stability and security of the internet (it's already
in DoP in para 48)
- we worry about subordinating principles to others.
- if we add references to security then, we also need to add
references to multi-lateral, democratic nature of the internet (no
reference to multi-stakeholders...so it's only govts)
- concept from el salvador is already in DoP.
- if 39 changes from agreed text, then supports saudi propsoal
egypt
- supports el salvador & saudi
- 39: should be multi-laternal, demcratic
- supports saudi arabia: equitable and non-discriminatory nature
dom republic
- asks for clarification. need to add gender equality to the spanish
translation.
- need to have translation so that the language used is gender balanced.
- add that refernce be added to human development
chair
- any suggestions to the language in spanish?
- we should guarantee equality to man & woman
cuba
- supports arab group
brazil
- no providing any language
- principle shall be that we are not going to ready agreeded to in
geneva decl of principles. this end is important.
- we should not pick and choose which principles to support and endorse
- we have 11 principles
chair
- better to stick to previous documents
-
burkina faso
- para 39.
* fundamental rights to multilingualism should be added.
chair
- there are other numeric possibilities. please, please, give us
input on other sections
south africa
- support comments made by brazil, cuba & iran in regards to stay
with existing agreed text
- revision to el salvador's text: need to ack
* add referecne to legimitiacy, internationalization & inclusivity
chair
- ZA what do you mean?
south africa
- that all stake-holders are supposed to participate.
- if there is a problem with security and stability and you need to
re-state it, then you should do the same for legitimacy,
internationalization and inclusivity
chair
- legitimacy is a loaded term. let's be careful
saudi arabia
- would like to support brazil's statement that we have already
agreeded text. let's not re-open the text
- proposal:
concerns the text of para 6 of wgig report, and how it's referenced
in pra 39 (48 in DoP).
- if we are to choose between the wgig and the DoP, then we would
prefer that para 17
- para . IG of the document should be multi-lateral, transparent and
democratic.. we should not say "should be multi-lateral". the geneva
declaration is far more firm.
- suggests the spanish translation be used. take out refence to
"should ". text should read " IG IS multi-lateral"....
chair
- we are trying to find common ground, as such "should" is ok.
-
algeria
- we thought 39 as drafted was ok.
- however, the all the proposals - the para 39 is changing away from
the aim.
- strongly supports para AS IS. however, if changes are made - we
would agree of propso
- furthermore, if there's a strong reference to security then there
should also be a reference to multi-lateral reference to IG (south
african proposal)
- agree with new zealand proposal.
para 41.
- do not agree with "some" additional as suggested by USG
chair
- para 39 has become shadow boxing for the real fight ahead
iran
- supports 41 as is, as it comes from the mandate of the wgig (from
the plan of action)
US response:
- agree that phase I should be used as governing text
- in regards to qualifier "some" in 41.
- the concept of "an enabling environment" is in the DoP, and not in
the wgig report. it's is worth our attention.
chair
- change "some" to " a number of" ..public policy issues.
Morocco
- agree with chair's approach.
- does not agree with approach being taken today. as it would not
lead to a result in the immediate future.
malawi
- support South africa and others.
- proposal that add one word "multi-lateral" to para 39 in regards to
management
nigeria
- will all decions be taking place in subcomittee plenary?
- there should be a balance between security and multilateralism
russia:
- speaking on behalf of CIS
- seeks clarification on 39. can you put in screen to suggest
specific admenments
- after "the itnernet" ADD " a central element of the infrastructure
of the information society
- after "evolve" , "scientific and academic "
these two changes would make it closer to what was proposed by WGIG
report.
chair
- para 43 & 44 - comments?
colombia
- recommend :
* 43a. with regard to support to governments in development in both
global technical norms and public policy internet

* international organizations have developed and must continue to
undertake an important role to support governments.
* add reference to international norms and public policy issues
43d. responsibilities here are limited. revise by adding the following..
", in addition to their current responsibilities, " - would express
quite clearly the responsibilities of intergovernmental organizations
43a. wrt. for internet public policy issues, i

resulting in
intl organizations have a responsiblity for and rights with and must
contunue to support governemnts in development of both global
technical norms and international internet public policy issues
congo
para 42
- we must forget multilateral

- para 43 in general seems to be ok as a basis for enabling us to
come to some conclusions

wgig report)
- suggests that include another sub-para - f - to mention:
... the academic and technological community has made, and should
continue to carry out a valuable contribution tot he development and
functioning of the internet.
el salvador
- suggests a preable to section 2
- conviction that all stakeholders, cs, business, govts should
actively participate in a co-ordinated and commensurate way with
respct to their respective roles & rsponilibilities
(from rio commitment)
reasoning: everyone needs to
chair

el salvador
- the added value . talks about co-ordination, which such be
commensurate with the roles & responsibilities.

(2) in rgeards to adding a new constituency (academic & technical
constituency)

stakeholders, as to who belongs to who.

Senegal (african grp)

coordination
- we should be specific , the public authorities
proposal:
* role of public authorities : should add reference
[link to digital solidarity fund/ cities & local authorities]
saudi arabia
- para 43 takes up most of DoP para 49 , as such this is agreeded
text that should be retained as is.
nigeria
- para 43 is consistent with para 49 in DoP, and thus should be
retarined.
- suggests that academic and technical community be mentioned. but as
they might be mentioned in
australia
(1) - technical and academic communities should be recognized.
suggests 43f, and will suggest text.
"academic , sci and tech communites have played a role....
(2) the role of CS is quite superficial vs. what in WGIG report.
should get input from CS in this regard
(3) revision to 43bis in regards to private sector
dom republic
- endorses the uruguay proposal to add role of technical and
scientific community
- import is the share the acquisition of knowledge.
in regards to CS
