<DIV>Adam - a quick note on age groups - </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>typically:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) Children - to 17/18 years - Section already in the CS vision document </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) Youth - 18 to 29 years ( Cnd definition / typical ) - which you are currently drafting</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think the youth caucus is dealing with 18- 29 yr olds - so you may want to conclude with:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> "Therefore we commit to develop and use only those ICTs that ensure<FONT color=#737373><SPAN style="COLOR: #737373"> the well-being, protection, and harmonious development of all </SPAN></FONT><STRONG><U>young people</U></STRONG> " - which is how you commenced the whole section / consistency of language. </DIV>
