I agree with you that the statement is mis-written (both in the English and 
the French version) and contains inaccuracies, but the jist of the statement 
is that it promotes network neutrality - whatever definition of network 
neutrality you give it.
I feel that far from hurting efforts to keep the Internet as open as 
possible, signing this note will promote the Internet that we know and like. 
In an effort to make this statement better and more beffitting with reality, 
perhaps should we email the statement organisers at signature [at] 
laquadrature . net  with our comments?

Kind regards,

Olivier
