[WSIS CS-Plenary] YJ's objection and the CS-PS statement

[Tracey Naughton]

It is very clear that there are divergent opinions on Internet 
Governance, including on the very term itself. I also believe, as I 
have said, that many new and veteran participants don't have enough 
detailed knowledge on the topic. This is leaving many people as 
observers of a debate they are not able to contribute to, but which 
obviously has some 'heat' in it.

I suggest that we need a structured session at PrepCom 3, and I mean 
structured so participants can learn in it, to explore the topic and 
hear different viewpoints. This may enable some more informed and 
constructive engagement.

In the meantime I urge the participants in the debate to discuss issues 
and try to rise above feelings about people that may have arisen during 
the background period to this debate.
