3. in para two the it sounds a bit like the biggest
achievement/objective of the IGF is supporting the IGF trust fund
4. perhaps a bit more enchanting first sentence? Perhaps along the
lines of: The internet is here to stay, the same should be true for
the IGF because multistakeholder dialogue is essential for maintaining
this crucial tool for freedom of expression, social and economical

Niels
