[governance] UN SG's report on enhanced cooperation

[Fouad Bajwa]

Hmm, I see ITU's submission on their own part but not as part of the
report's overall objective. ITU and UNESCO have their own views but
bringing the issue of IG just under one existing governance
organizational structure limits it. For example, ITU never talks about
rights of Human's on the Internet..........it may be more interesting
in building the invincible hand behind cyber security law enforcement
standards and practice but not seeing the social aspects of the
Internet.

In my opinion, the IG aspect with respect to having the IGF continued
is still the best way to go!
