 I would love to contribute to this discussion as well. Particularly from a developing world perspective where some of this operates at the level of executive actions without any Parliamentary or judicial oversight. Please count me in as a volunteer to the group. Thanks.

Subject: Re: [IGFmaglist] important topics for IGF 2013

It's music to my ears that this topic is being considered and discussed by the full MAG.  I stood alone in bringing this topic up in the open consultation last year (see attached transcript excerpt), and it landed on deaf ears.  I fully support seizing the opportunity to discuss it this year and I heartily volunteer to be part of any group that sets this discussion up.

Hi Markus,
Thanks and MAG may remain balanced on the topic; there is lawful interception for good reasons and there are some companies doing similar for commercial purposes

More importantly, it will lose credibility as a forum where the relevant issues of global Internet Governance are discussed.
