Sala, you have a point in this case, although I still prefer the right 
order. After all, it is not that we are 'the' civil society that is 
making this call. Anyway, mentioning business sector before civil 
society is becoming the norm in information society discourse, and I see 
it in sinister terms. In all other global political discourses, 
especially in the UN documents, it is always civil society before 
private sector actors. The standing of civil society is much different 
and higher in terms of public interest political actors than of the 
private sector.
