[discuss] [governance] NTIA statement

Sun Mar 23 17:56:47 UTC 2014

Thanks John,

This is interesting as I, along with Norbert didn't pick this up at the
time.  Given that it would be of considerable interest to me at least,
suggests that it may not have been more widely circulated/noted at the time.

(I'm not attributing anything to this, just noting it in passing.

Found the transcript:

Very long URL shortened, http://goo.gl/0HsmQr

and for those that don't like obfuscated URLs, google gnso buenos aires
transcript fadi 17 surveillance top result

excerpt from page 8, fadi Chehade speaking :

"Last thing I want to tell you is that we have assurances at the highest
level now that the Brazil meeting will not include topics. It will not
include topics. For all of us running around saying it's a summit about
surveillance, it's neither a summit, it's neither about surveillance. 
Okay, let's be very comfortable with that."
