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.
