Hi Parminder, it is easy to imagine how you would respond if
somebody referred to your reply as a fantasy. Particularly if you
hadn't even said what, in the reader's view, constitutes a
fantasy. I know it is completely pointless to say this, and I hope
I won't be punished with a two page response. Still, sometimes I
don't feel like backing off. <br>

It is an officially stated position, especially in varoius MAG
reforms discussions, that selection is stakeholder group based. The
current discussion here in the WG on IGF improvements is on
increasing 'representation' of under represented groups, including
developing countries. In this context, contesting stakeholder group
or constituency basis of membership of the MAG makes a discussion on
improving representation of marginalized group quite meaningless.
That is my problem, coming from being situated in the middle of such
a discussion here in the WG, which triggered my response. I am sorry
that the term offended you. It was used in the sense of a 'good
imagined thing that doesnt happen in reality' and not meant
specifically for what you said but for the general 'just
representing oneself' proposition often made in this kind of a
discussion.<br>
