It is difficult to get into that discussion now... w e have done it 
earlier often and the caucus seems to have overwhelmingly endorsed the 
concept. Now if at the last moment of trying a statement you say you 
dont know what it means, not much can I do about it. Thats the very name 
of the proposed theme, and i think it was proposed in a couple of 
statements last year, in fact, i think as the overarching theme of the 
IGF itself..

Simple. That as HR extra texts are written at present, they may need to 
be reinterpreted in their application to the current situation where new 
means of communication are bringing about far reaching changes at many 
levels...

It is up to the coordinators now to put the text for consensus call or 
not - and do it without the part of 'internet rights and principles' or 
with it. I propose we propose all the three themes, since there is a 
standing agreement in the caucus about them. But the call must go out 
now. Otherwise it will be too late.

Also ,McTim, as per your last email raising process issues, I think you 
are trying to apply methods of technical elists to the working of this 
group. The subjects, contexts and thus the methods may have to be very 
different here....
