</span>In so far as lines are drawn, here’s what I’ve observed this evening:<br>
<br>
On one side:<br>
The Internets<br>
United Kingdom<br>
Bulgaria<br>
Japan<br>
Canada<br>
USA<br>
Australia<br>
Ghana<br>
Nigeria<br>
New Zealand<br>
Grenada<br>
<br>
On the other side:<br>
Saudi Arabia<br>
Argentina<br>
Brazil<br>
Paraguay<br>
Oman<br>
Russia<br>
<br>
Wildcard:<br>
India<br>
<br>
Helpful grammar authoritarians, who are striving to make evil documents at least marginally intelligible:<br>
Bulgaria<br>
Sweden<br>
<br>
Meeting concluded with an admonishment by the chair to Saudi Arabia to consider limiting its contributions to ones which “reflect present reality.”<br>
<br>
The Internet-issues ad-hoc reconvenes at 18:00 on Wednesday, unless the secretariat is able to find an earlier time.<br>
<br>
Fact-checking the idiocy that’s spouted in this room is surprisingly difficult, given 85% packet loss getting out of the building. One could be cynical about that, but I’ll resist the urge.<br>
