I agree wholeheartedly, even though because of time constraints,
I can't currently actively participate in the development of the
text.

That's fine with me.

In the alternative scenario that there is dissent which cannot be
resolved in the scarce remaining time, I'd suggest that if a 'clear'
text is produced as proposed above, it can still be used, as a
statement in the name of "the undersigned members of the Internet
Governance Caucus", and everyone who wants can sign during the lunch
break on Monday.

That way we'll still have something ready by the time of the "setting
the scene" session (Monday 3pm), but there won't be any procedural
worries about holding a vote or some other formal way of authorizing
a statement in the name of the IGC which is not based on total
consensus.

Greetings,
Norbert.
