Great point. Just to say that I won't be at AoIR sadly but if there's going to be folk meeting at IAMCR in Montreal (as I think raised in an earlier message?) I would love to join the conversation ftf. I will even have drafted my paper on the 'one in three' (subtext: the days of imagining internet governance primarily as in the interests of privileged white adults must be firmly put behind us)

Best, Sonia

To follow up on Sonia's excellent observation, please recall that over a billion people experience a censored or controlled Internet, and often access the broader Internet at great personal risk.  Their voices must be counted too.

Best,
Cameran

I would just like to point out, as 'we' write about 'the people' using the internet that fully one in three of them (as far as I can calculate) is aged under 18 and therefore children's particular needs, interests and voices should also be clearly counted within the 'we'.
