We would be interested in getting the feedback of NCUC/NCSG members on these comments. If there is a lot of agreement, possibly an endorsement of these comments by the Executive Committee. We call for making the IGF permanent, more independence of IGF from
the UN, and more influence of the bottom up NRIGFs in formulating the agenda. We also criticize the Elements paper's approach to human rights, for prioritizing state control over individual empowerment. We also call for more emphasis on the development of
the digital economy. </div>
