Dear Mc Tim,

Then you should leave Suresh speaks for himself.
I definitively have not read his statement as you (representation was 
not at all the issue) and I may not be the only one beyond Mike.

As for
>we could get a lot more done if people didn't try to divide us with 
>first vs third world rhetoric.

I am a peson from the North who now live in the South for some 25 
years, and I disagree
with your statement. When focusing ICT4D and probably also Internet 
governance they are
many issues which are not treated the same way in the South as in the 
North (if only a question
of very different priority scheme). There is a South sensitivity and 
this is not a question of
dividing the community but rather acknowledging the existence of a 
different perspective driven by
quite different contexts.

Some people like Suresh leave in the South and are reluctant to 
acknowledge that difference of perspective;
this is their perfect right; however I do not think they have the 
right to impose their view to the rest of us
(who probably are the majority in that very case).

Cordialmente,
Daniel
