[governance] Program for Sharm El Sheikh - draft paper for comments by april 24

[Ian Peter]

A draft program paper for Sharm El Sheikh has been published at
www.intgovforum.org <http://www.intgovforum.org/> . Comments are called for
by April 24 for a synthesis paper.

 

There are a number of matters in it worthy of discussion, eg emerging issues
has been dropped. But perhaps most contentious of all is the statement

 

 

"While some favoured the inclusion of 'Internet rights and principles' as a
cross-cutting theme, the view was also held that there was no established
definition of this theme and that therefore it should not be discussed at
the Sharm El Sheikh meeting. "

 

Should not be discussed??  I think we need to say something about this.
Perhaps this is careless wording and is meant to imply that the theme should
not be adopted (contentious enough), but internet rights and principles
should not be discussed??

 

 

 

Anyway this topic is to discuss the draft program paper and a possible IGC
response by April 24.
