List of Statements
This is an experimental resource for members of the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) to assist with the collecting drafting of statements to be adopted by rough consensus. It supplements the IGC’s mailing list and its main Web site. The workspace is easy to use:
- To read any statement, click on its title under the List of Statements. The number in parentheses shows how many comments have been posted to that section.
- Inside each statement, view comments by clicking the paragraph bubble, or the comment browser row. The floating comment browser contains both general and paragraph-level comments.
- To see a running transcript of comments, organized by statement or author, click on the appropriate button at the top. Click “go to thread” to read any comment in context.
- To write a comment, click the paragraph bubble or comment browser. You may respond to a specific paragraph or make a general comment about the statement at large.
Please direct any questions to the IGC co-coordinators.
