Unfortunately I'm not currently home in the UK to look at the exact application, but the main topic, as mentioned, was the role of the non commercial user in a commercialized Internet. Issues included the dominance of Internet governance modalities and discussions by commercial I.p. interests and, more recently, government 'security' concerns. The development from an Internet where commercial activity was prohibited to one where commercialized content dominates discussion, yet non commercial use is the predominate online activity, is referenced. The overarching question to be discussed is who represents the vast majority of Internet users, those with no commercial intent, in the so called multistakeholder holder model and whether that representation is sufficient and effective.</div>

I did volunteer to act as a focal point and moderator - positions I'm happy to give to others - so that <span></span>we may be further involved in the organization of the session.<br>
