Just a few preliminary questions and comments, what's the meaning of
"prove our legitimacy"?

I also think that this page is enough, but i don't see the exactly
porpuse of it.  

anyway, i would like to make some suggestions on one paragraph:

paragraph: 
- transparent evaluations of global barriers to knowledge, research and
education, looking beyond technological obstacles at legal and
institutional gridlocks (like Intellectual Property laws and
International standards) and promoting a new balance of  intellectual
properties as a common ground for authors, creators and teachers to
protect their works and for civil society to benefit from their
contributions;

Proposal:

- transparent evaluations of global barriers to knowledge, research and
education, looking beyong technological obstacles at legal and
institutional gridlocks (like patents and copyrights laws and
international standards) and promoting a new balance of copyright and
patents regimes as a commond ground for authors, creators and teacher to
preserve their rights and for civil society to benefit from their
contributions.   
..

Paragraph:

c. The taskforce  invites its member to push for the recognition of the
open cognition paradigm and for the global commons of knowledge, for the
capacity-building and the well-being of people and communities
worldwide, so as to reach sustainable development.

Paragraph
