That is all I really see said in this statement. How , for instance, in an EC statement, at a crucial moment where very substantive inputs on what EC means and how to take it forward, are being sought,  can we not mention what the whole world outside (largely) strongly feels, in my opinion, ' that the US supervisory role on CIR management is completely unacceptable to the world community' and that this role should immediately be ceded to a global body with multistakeholder representation. If we are not able to muster enough political will to say this thing, which thing in fact got said many times even around the WSIS, I cant be a party to this regeressive non-statement.

Simply because the statement is pitched at a higher level than the specific cases of CIR and ACTA that you mention.  But, in a hope to get closer to something you would be satisfied with, will incorporate these issues somehow into the next draft, hopefully tonight.
