<DIV>Any funding source that is primarily interested in the internal structure of IGC related groups would seem to be the best shot at non-interference with external focused discussion and "papers".

In other words, if you want to and can, feel free - donate as little or as much as you want - no strings attached. If don't want to, or can't, no stress.

<DIV>With respect to funding for the IGC directly from, for example, the UNOG (IGF Secretariat) I do personally think that funding of this nature would help better structure the IGC and afford it the ability to perhaps consider implementation of a small project or two which will treat with, </DIV>
