<DIV>Dear esteemed Imran Ahmed Shah,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In this work of Internet Governance you will often produce great work and yet not get to have a formal presentation. It is very good that you explore and take advantage of any opportunity to "avail" yourself of a forum.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But it is perhaps most important that you keep up the hard work and publish it where you can without expectations that someone or group will hold it up in honor. No matter what course follows your ideas they have been planted in the minds of many and therefor incorporated in their viewpoints and knowledge base. This may not seem reward or kudos or results enough, but it is always the cumulations of hard unnoted work like yours that changes our world, for the better.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps a small thankyou from a no one like me, will mean nothing but maybe help to encourage further contributions. Thank you.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Fri, 5/7/10, Imran Ahmed Shah <I><ias_pk@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:<BR></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE>Maybe a step forward (regardless of the reception of your idea on this list) would be for you to post it as an individual as an input to the May open consultation and MAG meeting.
</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE><PRE>Hi,
I just wanted to point out that there not really a consultation in May, but rather a two day planning meeting which will be focused on planning for the program and the workshops. This is intended as a open working session like last years planning meeting.
On the third day, there will be a meeting of the MAG which I believe is open but which will not really be a consultation - its structure is up to the chair and MAG to decide at the time. I expect it to be more like a MAG meeting then a consultation.
While there may be some time for a few statements, I don't know yet, the best way to make sure the IGC's points get made is to have some of the MAG members who are also IGC members champion the proposal (or at least bring it up) within the MAG.
