Ok, since you insist :-)

I hereby propose a footnote to be added at the end of paragraph 1, with
the following text: "These comments have been developed, in a bottom-up
manner, using the following process: Using the mailing list and online
working area of the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus, comments
were gathered and initial drafts for the statement were created in an
informal manner. Following that, the statement has been formalized by
means of a formal consensus process, during which the civil society
representatives who are members of the caucus were able to raise issues
about the draft statement, such as suggestions for additions, deletions
and changes. These issues were then discussed with the goal of finding
a phrasing that would be acceptable to all who participated in the
discussion. Those points on which it was not possible to reach
consensus were deleted from the draft statement. The result is a
statement which therefore reflects the consensus of the Civil Society
Internet Governance Caucus."

Greetings,
Norbert
