[NCSG-PC] Joint WSIS+20 Civil Society Alliance on human rights

[farzaneh badii]

Hi Rafik

I read through it. It’s fine with me but I would have liked it to have more
support for protecting and preserving multistakeholder bottom up
infrastructure organizations.

I hope our PC considers endorsing this statement. We can show leadership by
endorsing it. I guess it’s too late.
