[IRP] our proposals for events @ IGF09

[M.I.Franklin]

Hi Max et al,

These subtleties are grist to the workshop mill and all the more important 
for that reason so I look forward to those debates.

Question right now, as always, is how to phrase the statement and proposal 
sent to the IGF ' Top' in such as way that it can be acceptable to all 
parties there (with veto powers) and those within this CD who are 
uncomfortable with the term values, whilst still retaining some substance.

Then the workshop proposal/s need to pay attention to these textual 
minefields too so if Lisa/Global Partners can 'own' the term values for the 
time being as part of their workshop initiative then it needn't be an issue 
in other communiqu?s.
