I certainly am of the view that simply calling for permanancy is not
enough, and figuring out what the next stage of the maturity model
and what it means has not achieved rough consensus (Adam spoke
about this this morning in the session) so we will need to split off
the stuff that does not have consensus and needs to be explored.
Articulating the themes of that would be useful though and should
not be dropped IMHO. <br></div></blockquote><br></div><div>Agreed. So far the text on IGF's permanent mandate on the Etherpad is very minimal and simply says "We call for the establishment of the IGF as a permanent multistakeholder forum with strengthened support." There may be merit in keeping it this simple, so that it could be offered as the wording for the multi-stakeholder statement. The longer it is, the more likely disagreement will keep in. Yet, despite its simplicity, the message is still strong.</div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
