4. perhaps a bit more enchanting first sentence? Perhaps
along the<br>
lines of: The internet is here to stay, the same should be
true for<br>
the IGF because multistakeholder dialogue is essential for
maintaining<br>
this crucial tool for freedom of expression, social and
economical<br>
development.<br>

<div style="font-size:small">I'm not
so sure about this last point. After a long discussion in
different places, we moved away from the initial idea of
seeking "permanency" for IGF in favor of a longer term.
Secondly, we don't know yet how effective the
new/strengthened IGF is going to be. Therefore it seems a
little odd to me now to compare IGF to the internet itself
in terms of their... permanency! I personally think
internet can survive without IGF - this IGF - and the
language add here is not necessary. However, I just wanted
to point that out and leave it to the drafters to
appreciate.</div>
