<div>Indeed, and basically conflates your views on enhanced
cooperation with the notion of a development agenda.</div>

<font face="Verdana">Bill, Jeremy asked participants to upload any
background paper that they may want to being to the notice of the
participants and I did that. Do you have any problem with that? <br>

Yes, IGF working groups! Sure enough. I am a great fan of them. Just
that when a CSTD WG (working group) on IGF improvements was actually
considering such things, our efforts to include setting up of IGF
working groups in the WG's report seemed not to find any real
support. Was that not the right time to ask for instituting IGF
working groups. <br>

<div>Again, I'd argue for an institution building procedural focus
as something that might actually be doable in the time
available, and useful as input to the IGF meeting.</div>
