 IGC CS Reporting from the EuroDIG http://www.eurodig.org in Geneva at
the European Broadcasting Union 2:

Mrs. Redding emphasizes on Network Neutrality to be brought into more
discussion and in particularly with regards to governance. We are
confronted by the questions for NN and we would like to bring it into
focus of all our discussions on IG. Alun Michael says that the rest of
the parliamentarians have commented that we have to take Internet
Governance as seriously as Civil Society. Serbian member believes that
it will be a slow process like any other international institutional
and policy change process but it will happen.

COE says that the internet will not work without improving broadband
access and in particular Citizen access otherwise it no government
will be able to work. Alun says that similar issues were discussed in
the African IGF.

Mrs. Redding says:
1. IGF is a very important experience and process. There is something
true that it is a process. Internet leads the rules of the world,
democracy, new regulations of the world and I hope that the next two
IGFs can show that there is an issue and positive IGF towards these
issues.

2. We need to change international institutions, increase and enforce
participation of the people in the international institutions.

- These issues will also be discussed in the next two days and
workshops to be underway after lunch and tomorrow.
