ICC
informal input on WGIG papers
April 2005
ICC International Secretariat has compiled and submitted informal input
on several of the papers developed by the Working Group on Internet Governance
(WGIG
). These comments/suggestions were developed by members of the EBITT
Commission and as noted in the introduction to the document, they are
in general based on existing ICC positions.

Many member companies
preferred to have an informal compilation of input on these papers submitted
by ICC instead of having particular comments attributed to their company
alone. In addition, despite the challenging timeframe for public comments
on these documents, it is important that business from around the world
provide input on these critical policy issues that are being discussed.
The papers and all
comments submitted during the public comment period are posted on the
WGIG website at: http://www.wgig.org/meeting-april.html
