>> I agree with the theme - Internet governance for all - or Interconnected

>> Now, to the Wuzhen Declaration, I would like to make following comments
>> for the record as an active member of the Civil Society engaged in Internet
>> Governance and Information Society issues and make my humble reservation.
>> 
>> First, getting the draft in the middle of the night and the deadline of 8

>> 
>> Second, there is no mention of "Multistakeholder" process or approach

>> IGF, and other international fora for Internet governance mechanisms. Even
>> though there are a lot of room for improvement and reform, simply ignoring
>> this principle from the declaration, in my view, will greatly discredit the
>> value of our declaration.
>> 
>> Also, there is no reference to WSIS Tunis Agenda, people-centered
>> information society, that is a mistake.
>> 
>> No mention of UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights also severely
>> undermines the value and effect.
>> 
>> There is too much emphasis on economic and technological potential of the
>> Internet, but far less views expressed to social, human and cultural
>> dimensions Internet will contribute.
>> 
>> Following points are also observed:
>> 
>> - Consensus is missing from international cooperation
>> 
>> - Internet as an permissionless innovation environment
>> 
>> - Accountable participation as part of cyber security activities
>> 
>> - Advancement of Internet technology should build on global rough
>> consensus of the engineering technical community (not politics)
>> 
>> - Internet as an economy of growth and that China should play a bigger
>> role to help developing countries from her experience
>> 
>> With these reasons, I like to make my reservation on record.
>> 
>> I also like to mention the statement we co-signed:
>> 
>> "Community Statement Presented at Wuzhen Summit"
