we will indeed (and in fact already have) removed the word 
definition.. but i see you've formulated another below.. which i'll 
come to below

and yes, that is certainly my understanding of what several of us are 
interested in pursuing.. but, i'd like to take a breath and suggest 
that we use this topic to finetune exactly what it is, we might focus 
on..  you know well meryem, the frenetic pace and nature of these 
events, and it is easy for a word or phrase to be inadvertantly used 
in a public document due to the hectic nature of writing quickly etc..

for now, we're going to remove that particular WG proposal altogether 
- as you see we have another:

"WG on self and co-regulation in internet governance" (which is more 
in line with what you're proposing)

and we may even fine tune that, using yours and others input..

thanks meryem
