[Fwd: [governance] Workshop proposal - Internationalisation of

[Parminder]

I am fine with this. Just a technical language related point.

I think we mean IG and not the Internet to be internationalised. Would 
therefore prefer

"One thing however is clear by now; the Internet is not just a technical 
artifact, requiring technical governance with regard to keeping it 
running smoothly, but a key socio-political phenomenon requiring 
participative, inclusive and accountable internationalization."

to be changed to

"One thing however is clear by now; the Internet is not just a technical 
artifact, requiring technical governance with regard to keeping it 
running smoothly, but a key global socio-political phenomenon whose 
governance requires participative, inclusive and accountable 
internationalization. "
