AW: [governance] Fall ICANN meeting in Cairo - Rights discussion

[Robert Guerra]

it would indeed be grave if any discussions regarding rights & freedom  
of expression were removed from the IGF.

I would assume - i hope correctly - that the EU, US, Canada and other  
countries that supported the inclusion of rights as a key topic for  
the IGF to discuss did not concur with the proposal...

regards

Robert
