[governance] Last minute addition?? Consensus call on rights theme - IGF Review

[ldmisekfalkoff at gmail.com]

Dear Ian and All,

Thanks for this update.  It is SO important not to limit putative

rather than as should be to be  fully empowered/encoding  participants
in communication contexts.

With best wishes, Linda..
