[Chapter-delegates] Internet Society Statement on theNETmundial Initiative

[Carlos Raúl G.]

Dear Richard!

Thank for your good explanations. But if we don't need new groups or not, we agree that the present ones have to increase their speed exponentially and not wait just for the next meeting.

The speed of he cross community working groups on the IANA transition or the speed of the Net Mundial declaration should be the new benchmarks for the local/regional issues as well, if we want continuous support from the bottom of the connectivity ladder.

Best regards
