I have nothing again the endorsment as I agree with every word but I 
could not resist though to highlight a paradox quite symptomatic of 
our context which tells as much as about the IGF as the very speech...

That said, if we really want to capitalize let's draw from the speech 
a "(civil society) core values" document which could be used as the 
greatest common denominator of people joining this forum and in the 
future allow to the draw a clearer line between the consensual 
positions and the non consensual ones and hopefully would limit or 
better locate the contoversies. This would go beyond showcasing.

Nnenna, do you feel to do it? The Web Foundation, by the way, would 
have the best institutional legitimacy for such initiative.

As i see it it would be a document from civil society but not 
preventing other stakeholder groups to adhere.
