[governance] Inputs for synthesis paper

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Ian and all,

  I agree with all except:

" ( But still imperfictly enforced ) " and "including the right to have
an Internet in ones own language, which can inform the important IGF
thematic area of cultural diversity."

And suggest:

" ( But rarely adaquately enforced ) "
And
strike - including the right to have an Internet in ones own language
and replace with:
including a right to cultural diversity, and to the extent any culture
can itself effect, such expressed in that culture's native languages"
