[bestbits] Re: [governance] IGC press release in response to the NTIA announcement of March 14

[Stephanie Perrin]

+1 Avri.  I was thinking "fundamental" might work but I like "essential " better, I think. 
I was wondering if it would be worthwhile also so reiterate the values that are mentioned in the press release, or a broader statement of values.  We need to hang on very strongly to the "free and open" etc. values, it does not go without saying in a multi-stakeholder model.

It is good to indicate that off course this does not work out the same in all contexts (aka not one size fits all), but we ought to persist in defining that full participation by all stakeholders in the process is essential.
