[IRP] Vedrò position statement on Internet Regulation

[Parminder]

Max

With all due respect, I have huge and fundamental problems with 
characterizing  copyright as a fundamental right. You may not be asking 
anyone to sign the statement but in the list of working group members 
your affiliation is mentioned as the chair of DC on IRP, and I dont 
think it is ok at all. I want to be polite, and not personal at all, but 
this is not a small issue. I would have ignored if it were a small 
issue, which it isnt. I have no idea what made you accept membership of 
a WG whose  purpose description mentions copyright as a fundamental 
right, but that is your personal affair. My objection is that your 
membership in the WG is listed with IRP affiliation, in fact as its chair.
