from the Tunis speech: KG says, "While the digital revolution offers real development opportunities for the economies of the World, the digital divide between developed nations and the rest of the world sadly continues to grow. We believe that there should be a mechanism to facilitate meaningful participation on Internet Governance to accomplish the vision of the Declaration of Principles of the World Summit on the Information Society. An International Internet Governance System should be developed to harmonize technical and policy issues to the advantage of the global community. We also wish to add that sustained efforts should be made to ensure participation of developing countries to make the system truly meaningful and effective."

I see how it is. So impressive and stately indeed.
