[governance] ADD MY NAME to defend "Internet Rights and Principles" [was: deadline for inputs on IGF 2009 agenda]

[Rui Correia]

Hi Anja

Thanks for doing this and for the heads up, picking up on this serious
omission!

PLEASE ADD MY NAME!

As you will know, the troll wars have been turning a lot of people off, as a
result, many are not keeping up.

The result/ consequence (i.e. mission accomplished for the trolls) is that
people feel unqualified to comment because they have not kept up and
therefore will not express themselves on "deadline for inputs on IGF 2009".
However, we CAN ALL sign up against suppression/ omission of internet
rights!

I've thus taken the liberty to change the subject line of the email in the
hope of alerting those in tedium of the troll wars.

Keep up the good efforts,

Regards,

Rui
