<br>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></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" 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>
