Re: [alac] Draft Declaration of Principles (Last Version 19/09/2003)

Hi,
I will be going to Geneva tomorrow to attend WSIS PrepCom3.

A report from a friend who's follwoing the governance WG negotiating the
following language:

4.      Internet issues of an international nature related to public 
policies should be coordinated

    a)  [between governments and other  interested parties.]

    b)  [through/by appropriate intergovernmental organizations under the 
UN framework.]
    c)  [as appropriate on an intergovernmental basis.]
    d)  [through/by appropriate international organizations.]
    e)  [through appropriate and mutually agreed international organizations.]

 List of countries that spoke up on this issue today:

EU: a or d
Japan: d
Canada: d
Norway: a or d,
Mali: b
Mauricius: b
China: b
Uganda: b
Brazil: b
Australia: a
Saudi Arabia: b
US: a (only)
Mexico: a
Zimbabwe: b
Senegal: a or d

As you can see, no consensus was possible. As a result, item 4 is put into 
additional
square brackets. All in all, there are now 2 levels of square brackets.
One applies to the whole paragraph 44, the other to item 4. For option c 
and e, a
third level of brackets was discussed but finally dismissed. Now, the whole 
para will go back
to plenary next week. I don't see that another plenary discussion will be 
of any help.
