[governance] Gender and IG

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Debbie, Anja and all,

  It's Anja's attachment, so she will need to re-send it as an
attachment.  Sorry my response including you Debbie, didn't
keep the attachment.  If Anja is unable or unwilling to re-send,
let me know I will recapture it and send it off list for your review.

  As this document which you didn't get Debbie is largely impacting
on womens issues and with health implications, I think your input
would as a highly respected individual and professional in that area,
would be VERY helpful.

  Of course my opinion in that I am male, regarding women's input
is essential in the IG and any internet governance issues and we as
men, wheather we admit it or not, NEED that input!  But as many
women know, or at least suspect, their input may be sought, but
often times only as token input.  For me, that attitude is not realistic
and particularly short sighted at a minimum.
