[governance] GCCS Speech

[Izumi AIZU]

Hi,

I think it's very healthy and constructive to review the speech delivered.
Thank you Deirdre to bring this onto the table, and thank you Nennena to
respond
so constructively.

I would like to put just one point.
It was done with other stakeholder speakers as the opening speech.
And compared with all others, our civil society speaker gave much more
powerful, moving and also logical messages in the very limited time and
special context.

Dutch Prime minister, expensive professional dancing performance, "Father
of the Internet" were all the background of our Civil Society delivery of
the opening statement.

> Responding to Nnenna's PS in the realisation that I have probably been
> guilty of the sin of jargon -
> I have spent most of my "working life" (I have a problem with this
> terminology but that's for later) teaching about literature and literary
> criticism. Criticism (together with critical/uncritical) does not have any
> negative connotation within that context. At its simplest it's the
> "because" - I like this poem because, I don't like this poem because.There
> may also be a "but". And the because and the but are the value added, the
> chance to expand in some small way on the original work. If we add comments
> to our approval/disapproval then we add value and move the collaboration a
> step further.

>> PS/ As for critical or uncritical praise.  It does not apply to me,

> For the rest of Nnenna's message I think we should say thank you for

> For me, I wonder whether the word "access" might not benefit in future

> Looking forward to the becauses and buts
