Dear colleagues

In a press conference today at the WSIS in Tunis, the Number Resource 
Organization(NRO) released a statement regarding the Tunis Commitment found at:

The Number Resource Organization (NRO) is satisfied with the result of the 
WSIS. It is a positive result that the role of governments inside the area 
of Internet governance has been clearly defined,and that there is a clear 
decision for governments not to become involved in the daily operational 
and technical matters of the Internet.This result,while recognising the 
importance of full involvement of all stakeholders, allows for the 
continued successful operation of the Internet and is a successful outcome 
for the Internet community as a whole.

The full NRO statement is available on the NRO website at:
