> First of all thanks to Parminder. Great work and delivered just intime :-)))). My clear vote is YES.

>  However, here are some late comments to the texts:
>
>  Statement 1: If you refer to session theme 3 "Development" I would link this theme to the Millenium Development Goals (MDG). As we know both WSIS and MDG objectives are aimed at 2015. We know also that so far there is only little linkage between the (New York driven) MDG and the (Geneva driven) WSIS/IGF process. It would make sense to add half a sentence saying that such an IGF theme would also contribute to the MDG process.
>
>  Statement 2: You say, and this is true, that the Tunis Agenda looks for the IGF only to 2010 and a reviw should take place in 2010. I think we should not wait with an evaluation until 2010. We should propose to start with the evaluation already here and now to make sure that there is no "sudden whole" in the process between 2010 and 2011.
>
>  Statement 2/3: I would also add that we have still the position that the IGF is not a negotiation body and should not adopt formal policy recommendations but we are in favour of a certain more concrete visible outcome from the IGF. The IGF should not adopt "recommendations" but send clear "messages" to the relevant institutions and organisations which have a decision making capacity. The proposed "Annual Report" could be seen as playing such a role of sending "messages". Should we say something that we are against an "UN style bureau" (as proposed by some governments, in particular Russia) which would end up with an intergovernmental body?

>  Once again thanks for the great work. If it comes to the showdown and to serious business the IGC is still alive and can produce relevant and unique input. Great.
