Hi all,
can I suggest we end the discussion on this?

It has been pointed out by several colleagues in the CCWG both by e-mail as well as on the phone that there seems to be a misunderstanding. Greg has also sent a few notes explaining what was and what was not said.

I will meet Kavouss tomorrow at the WSIS forum and hopefully we can resolve any remaining issues on this topic.

Thank you all,
Thomas
