It may be useful to note that the same people here who are opposing any
new institutional developments under the EC rubric, are the ones who
oppose any kind of movement towards IGF being able to give any kinds of
recommendations.
So they are not confused at all between different parts of our proposal
(EC/ IGF) at all. They are either generally against public policy
regimes globally, or are content with those that include only developed
countries (OECD) and leave out developing countries.
I dont think in any other global civil society group such kind of open
discrimination could have been countenanced.
