[IRP] IRP Statement to Open Consultation for IGF 2010

[M I Franklin]

Dear All

Thanks for the input. Nuance and reordering along these lines and tweaking 
along points made earlier can be arranged. This statement is to make a 
practical as well as a principled (HR0 contribution to the consultations. 
It is self-explanatory that this coalition wants to focus on HR. Practical 
suggestions and a willingness to contribute to the next IGF go along with 
that, at least as I see it.

Anyway, in order to allow time for the IGC and other IRP'ers to endorse the 
new version of this statement, comments and suggestions until midnight GMT. 
That allows time for those of you in your working day. So, stand by 
tomorrow for the revised version

If people could endorse (those who haven't as yet) asap after that, then 
will send it through as late as possible tomorrow night GMT.

One suggestion following on from this: as this statement is a contribution 
to the open consultations in practical terms as well as a change to put the 
IRP's main goal on record rather than a fully developed manifesto as such, 
perhaps we could take this statement as a springboard for more discussions 
within the list about concrete ways for IRP to contribute to the Vilnius 
meeting; workshops, main sessions, etc etc.

ciao
MF
