[governance] Call for consensus - endorsement of speech by Nnenna Nwakanma on behalf of Civil Society at Netmundial, Brazil

[Deirdre Williams]

I would also like to express my appreciation of the way in which a comment
that was originally a criticism has been "re-engineered" as a way forward.
This could be a helpful model - criticise but also try to suggest a useful
outcome.
