Nyangkwe,

It seems a terrible shame not to have you on this letter because of your 
experience and particuarly since you represent stakeholders that are usually 
under-represented and may benefit most from what we're trying to achieve.

If it is only the statement about providing services that concerns you, I'm 
sure we can reword it, and I'm sure there will be others with the same 
concern that may also then join up. We certainly do not want people to feel 
as if this process would be an obligation. It will work much better if 
people are able to review what is going on and make comments and suggestions 
only when they feel what they have to say is important.

Can I suggest the following change. And would you be willing to put your 
name to the letter if this change was made?

Those signed below would like to ***express our resolve*** in helping this 
process get on its feet and take it forward. We believe such a process would 
be incredibly worthwhile and have a broad positive impact across all 
stakeholders and on the IGF itself.
