[governance] Re: Final score in CSTD consultations ??

[Katitza Rodriguez]

I might said that I did not that wikileaks was used as an example as I 
said previously in this list. It is not the right moment at least for 
those of us who are really concerned on what is going on right with 
wikileaks. (and despite the great speech of Lula on Wikileaks). I wonder 
if they will said the same if the cables were from the Brazilian 
Government (and not the US).
