I know it is summer and we are all trying to step away from the internet grind. Unfortunately, all these international processes don't take a vacation. So, just sending a reminder to let me know if you are okay with the following wording suggestions to the Canadian stakeholder position in the WSIS+20 negotiations.

You might remember that ISED and GAC held 6 thematic meetings over the last 6 months to develop a Canadian stakeholder vision document to help inform the Canadian position at the WSIS+20 negotiations later this year. I was part of this informal working group where I did what I could to promote the ideas TC members had developed in some of our work on the questionnaires late last year. Attached is the first draft of the vision document which captures the key messages from these meetings. I have looked at it and find it to be a reasonable outcome of the discussions. But this is a draft and feedback will be considered. I am considering asking for a minor revision of the piece under *Indigenous Connectivity and Community Networks *which currently reads: - Emphasize the importance of community networks in creating an enabling environment to connect the unconnected (directly related to WSIS Action Line 6). Not much room for change here. We have be very clear and concise. I was going to offer the following suggestion as a rewording: *Emphasize the importance of community internet infrastructure and decisionmaking processes to connect the unconnected (...)* This wording is actually from our response to the ITU questionnaire and I think the current reference to community networks is terribly vague in this context. Any thoughts?
