[governance] Aug. 15 deadline for inputs on IGF 2009 agenda

[Eric Dierker]

Generally speaking,
 
If this input is what you want  --  you provide easy access links to the forum in which the comments are welcome.  I am sure you did not intend this but your post without connections rings a little hollow and without sincerity.
 
If your response to this is -- "everyone knows" or "find it yourself" well then the intentions are clear and the desired inclusion is obvious.
 
This agenda setting is much like the list control debates here.  Watch any legislative body for a while and you will see  -  he who controls the agenda gets what he wants.

Dear all,

As Ginger noted, tomorrow is the last day for comments on the Draft
Programme Paper. What continues to strike me as I read this paper is the
complete absence of attention for Internet rights and principles - in
fact the word 'rights' is not mentioned even once - despite Internet
rights and principles being raised as a theme or a topic for a main
session repeatedly by a range of players (including the IGC, the IRP DC
and the Gender DC) during and in the run-up to May's Open Consultations.
Although I realise that there is little chance of it being included as a
main session at this point, I think it is important for us to at least
comment on this glaring absence.  Would it be possible for the IGC to
express, by tomorrow, its disappointment in this regard? (we could use
some of the wording of the April submission)  

For those of you with whom I have had the pleasure to interact before, I
also would like to share that I have now joined the Centre for Internet
and Society, Bangalore.  

I look forward to continuing to engage with you all on Internet
Governance issues.

Anja
