Hi<br>I do agree with David that the statement should at least have been sent to the list before reading out in the meeting. It did read in the main as if it were an official IGC statement<br>Jacqueline<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

David, you are not reading what Wolfgang says, he said "on behalf
of the present members of the Caucus" - so, I asume they have
talked to each other in Geneva.</blockquote>

<div>I am afraid, Veni, that the statement we receive as an attachment
- presumably in fact that heard in and by the Consultation - does say
'members of the Internet Governance Caucus.' Not 'present
members.' The 'present' terminology was used to transmit the
statement to the list - that does not accord with the written and
presumably presented text. The statement itself says
otherwise.</div>

<blockquote type="cite">The text says That does not
effectively distinguish from the Caucus itself, and it will not be
heard as doing so by the uninitiated. Indeed, later text goes on
to, for example, 'The Internet Governance Caucus is pleased with ...'
and '... the Internet Governance Caucus sees the ...,' clearly
statements for and from the caucus as a whole.</blockquote>

Beyond careful, that sort of integrity is of the essence.
Without that, we can pack up our bags and go, certainly when it come
to any credibility.</div>
