Thank you, Constance.   Hi Veni-
I am still interested to know what exactly is said in the ITU documents that
you are concerned about.

Best regards,
Cynthia Waddell

Dear Cynthia, 
Dear Veni,

Yes, we are following the work going on in the WG-WSIS, along with the
preparations of the WTPF. 

We will submit comments on the documents elaborated recently in the WG-WSIS.
Please do not hesitate to share text or ideas on this list if you wish.

Thank you, 
CB

Veni,
Was is it about the ITU documents for the WTPF that show a position on
Internet Governance not reflected in the WSIS and WGIG output?  Can you
please be more specific?

Best regards,
Cynthia Waddell

Thanks, Constance.

Talking about the ITU, it will be good to see also some reaction from 
ISOC on the documents published here (ISOC has the right to comments, I
guess):

<http://www.itu.int/council/groups/wsis/index.html>http://www.itu.int/counci
l/groups/wsis/index.html 

They seem to represent a position about the Internet Governance, 
which was not shared in the consultations around the WGIG, and is not 
reflected in the final documents of the WGIG and the WSIS.

What is ISOC doing about it?

best,
veni
