face=Verdana>Steve<BR><BR>Thanks very much for the leadership on this
statement. I think there was confusion from the outset on this statement
about an essential benchmark as opposed to a key non-negotiable. It was
regrettable that we did not have time to discuss it and I was most grateful
to Rony for proposing a very reasonable benchmark.<BR><BR>In terms of key
non-negotiables, I agree that we should adhere to the text that we have
agreed to and I like the paragraph you have fashioned (below) as is. Though,
it does not mention self regulation of ethics or rights of media
workers.....what do others
think?<BR><BR>Regards<BR><BR>Tracey<BR><BR>Steve's proposal:<BR><BR>"Article
19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the touchstone <BR>for an
independent, pluralistic and free media. Media pluralism and <BR>diversity
should be guaranteed through appropriate laws to hinder the abuse <BR>of
media concentration. State controlled media should be transformed into
<BR>editorially independent public service organisations. Security and other
<BR>considerations should not compromise freedom of expression, media
freedom <BR>and access to information."<BR><BR><BR>-- <BR>Tracey
