[New] 62bis. We agree that, (see item48 WSIS-II/PC-3DOC/5) any organizational form for the governance function/oversight function should adhere to the following principles:

• The organizational form for the governance function will be multilateral, transparent and democratic, with the full involvement of Governments, the private sector, civil society and international organizations.

• The organizational form for the governance function will involve all stakeholders and relevant intergovernmental and international organizations within their respective roles.
