[governance] Re: Draft IGC statement on Wikileaks

[Katitza Rodriguez]

Hi there,

I do not know why we should mentioned this paragraph (para. 4) in a 
submission to the United Nations. BTW, the hacker community is not 
involve in those attacks. You should be careful. The hacker community 
(who does legal things) "freedom to tinker" has issued a press release 
about it. See: 600 MAGAZINE CONDEMNS DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACKS. 
http://www.2600.com/news/view/article/12037 In any case, I think, that 
paragrahp does not add anything in a submission to the UN, and it can be 
not well understood by Government officials.

Finally, I would apologize but I am not sure if I will be able to get 
comments from my organization for this submission for this tight 
deadline. However, I will do my best to see if I am able to do it within 
your deadline.

All the best, Katitza
