Even if it turns out that regarding this topic area there are more
disagreements than agreements among global civil society, it would IMO
be worthwhile to explain in a statement what the important agreements
and disagreements are within civil society.

The situation is that there are less diverse collections of civil
society groups who don't hesitate to communicate their viewpoints, more
or less intentionally giving the false impression that the perspective
which they present is "the" civil society viewpoint.

It is IMO not appropriate for the IGC to react to this situation by
being simply silent.

Greetings,
Norbert
