[governance] Re: Separate statement on themes for Vilnius

I'm not sure that I completely understand the possible implications of this
but on the face of it I would support this approach.

Here is a suggestion.  Why don't we pitch instead of a "Right to Internet
Development", which would be the right to develop Internet policy and
standards in a bottom up, open, documented and transparent fashion,
independent from commercial and governmental interests.

This combines Rights and a Development Agenda together in once concept.

I would think the technical community would get behind this!
