</font></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span>My personal understanding is that the demand for equal roles
for all stakeholders in Internet Governance is usually presented vis-a-vis one
specific actor: the States. The aim usually is to criticize the lack of equal
footing in spaces like ITU or to argue that new issues should not be taken
to these intergovernmental spaces. </span></font></span></p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>
</font></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span>A more isonomic and fair approach would be to demand equal
roles in all internet governance layers and arrangements, considering that most
of the areas of Internet governance are private-led and not government led:
from the infrastructure layer and interconnection arrangements to the development
of standards and to the terms of use of platforms in the applications layer.</span></font></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span> To be coherent the statement should argue that all
stakeholders should participate in all layers and arrangements on equal
footing. <br></span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span>But would that be of interest to the development of the Internet? I have doubts. My current understanding is that some areas of governance should be private-led, just like
some other areas should be state-led. For example, i</span></font><font><span><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:107%;color:rgb(38,38,38)">t makes sense that
the development of standards is primarily led by the technical community,</span></span><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38)"> although there should be transparency, openness, accountability and also
real responsiveness to inputs of other actors (and ways to guarantee responsiveness). </span><span><span></span>That is what I understand by different roles
of different actors. Therefore, I do not think the expression should be
abolished, but reinterpreted. </span></font><font>

view (we exchanged many e-mails about similar points over the years :) and it is certainly a valid way of looking at things. I would support that such a
document is put forward as a contribution on behalf of those who share this
understanding.</span></font></span></p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>
