[Chapter-delegates] Fwd: Impromptu ISOC-DC "ITU 2020" breakfast/Twitter Jam Monday, November 8

[Nicolas Antoniello]

It seems to be and issue here, isn't it? :

... "Near the top of the agenda was the debate over the United Nations' role
in *shaping the evolution* of the Internet." ...

I believe one of the ITU's main issue is that, in fact, one should not have
the will of SHAPING THE EVOLUTION... just be part of and evolve with it.

Warm regards,
Nicolas
