[governance] Revised version of statement on themes for Nairobi

[Yuliya Morenets]

Dear Jeremy,

Thank you for the open call and the proposition. We do believe that there
is a strong need to raise this question and to make reference (the Tunis
Agenda and Geneva declaration  mention this) to marginalised people with
regard to the use of internet.

I hope other members will share our opinion.

Many thanks and best regards,

Yuliya

Having said that, Izumi and I have a discretion to make amendments even after the final text has been posted.  So if anyone has strong views for or against adding to the network neutrality statement, please speak up now and we can take this into consideration:

I responded that at this stage such an addition could probably also only come orally, but if others think we should amend the text of our contribution to include such a reference, please say so within the next 48 hours.
