Algeria
We heard two contradictory messages,
need for -many speakers voiced doubt
Why prejudge UN – even it has not started!
UN to look at such important matter as Internet Governance.
This morning, a speaker of government took the position – his stance
there is a new position, message – they are ready for the fight. Ready
to enter into debate. We hope this is a new position and approach.
Good news.
Algeria is ready to debate, provide arguments, restructure the
reorganization of the Internet.
In 2004, there were too innovative in that climate, but now we are
ready in the light of all the changes that occurred recently.
We are in favor of the need to give each and everyone the place that
befalls him, the Internet Governance.

Policies in line with Tunis agenda.
India will be pragmatic and flexible in this approach.

fulfill the mandate, it’s negotiation, not forum
So our proposal is to create a inter-governmental mechanism in UN, to
fulfil the mandate to negotiate at appropriate level
as speedy as possible, af

EC is started or not does not matter in our opinion
We plea to all stakeholders for the next step.
