Even if it was done by an “uninformed” local team, there is an important
question in regard to how one reacts to these actions of that local
team.

I'd suggest that it would be appropriate to ask the secretariat and
the MAG whether they were aware of this, and if so, what steps were
taken to inform the local team that that kind of promises in the
context of fundraising for a diplomatic process are really not
appropriate. Also ask what steps are being taken to prevent any
repetition of this kind of situation. This is not a small matter.
Possibly money was raised based on these promises, and a 'new IGF
model' is being proposed that might just catch on: If no action is
taken to prevent the IGF's credibility from being ruined in that way,
that might just happen.

Greetings,
Norbert
