Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
As we share resolutions from national Senates, if there is interest
from the group, I could arrange for a translation of the French
Senate resolution related to Internet governance
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.senat.fr/rap/l14-102/l14-1022.html#toc4">http://www.senat.fr/rap/l14-102/l14-1022.html#toc4</a>, French only).
There are also inputs that would fall within the scope of our group.
<br>
<br>
Best<br>
Mathieu<br>

<div>Thanks Keith. For our non-US colleagues, this is a “Sense of
the Senate” resolution which expresses an opinion only and, as
such, is not binding. So while it’s indicative of the level of
interest in the CCWG’s work, this resolution should not be read
as establishing new criteria or requirements for the ultimate
proposal.</div>
