[governance] Shah' stmt at the close of today

[Izumi AIZU]

I could only watch the very end of formal statements, Iran, and then
first few for the "free" discussion, Chair's lengthy remarks and Saudi
Arabia's intervention.

Could you pull out some points which are of good reference for us, IGC,
to make interventions for tomorrows CSTD IGF consultation meeting
in Geneva, here?

I think we need to make the case for Multistakeholder approach,
the benefits, to show the CSTD consultation participants, as Bill
pointed out, more specific than current statement we agreed.

Thanks,

izumi
