>> 1.      Human Rights (Access, Freedom of Expression, Privacy etc.)
>> 2.      Security (Cyberwar, Cyberterrorism, Cybercrime etc.)
>> 3.      Economic Development (Market domination, competition,

>> 4.      Technical Coordination (Names, Numbers, Protocols etc.)

>> Each of the six groups under the CSCG (IGC, BB, JNC, NCSG, Diplo, APC)
