Ginger will be at the open consultation meeting and can deliver an oral statement on themes for the Vilnius meeting, separately to our statement looking back at Sharm el Sheikh.  It is entirely appropriate to split up our statements like this, and there is precedent for it.

So, let's get to work on such a statement now.  I don't think it needs to be very long, and indeed we could just put forward some bullet points for Ginger to elaborate upon on the day.  So far we have on the table the following substantive themes:

* Human rights
* Development agenda
* Network neutrality/Open Internet

Comments, please, particularly on the last of these which Parminder has just introduced?
