This wording is surprising. It looks like it is the revelations that
undermined confidence, and not the NSA actions. I would prefer
something like, to avoid shooting the messenger:
They expressed strong concern over the undermining of the trust and
confidence of Internet users globally, due to pervasive monitoring and
surveillance by powerful actor(s).
The wording could have been different instead of one expressing a
strong concern about the "revelations".
There is a statement from LACNIC about allegations of espionage
(http://www.lacnic.net/en/web/anuncios/2013-lacnic-acerca-espionaje).
The statement signed by the IAB Chair
(http://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents/2013-2/montevideo-statement-on-the-future-of-internet-cooperation/)
is about future of Internet Cooperation.
This is the second time that the IAB has issued a statement without
requesting comments from the IETF Community. In my humble opinion it
would be good if there was a comment period.
