Deconstructing CSTD to me sounds like a GIGANET topic actually; since history of IG failures is mainly of - academic interest.

Agree completely. <br>

We should set examples of focused discussions on concrete policy/
institutional issues for the rest of IGF participants. Our inputs
towards IGF improvements have repeatedly called for increasing such
focus, so we will be putting our money where our mouth is.<br>

<pre wrap="">
Merging them is effectively making a choice for the second (CSTD)
workshop, since it's broad enough to include consideration of the Indian
proposal.
I also note that Parminder has indicated a preference for the first
workshop.
I agree that we should ideally put forward one or the other rather than
both... plus McTim's more operational (which I prefer to "real")
workshop.
And Fouad, will you be repeating your "open space for discussion"
workshop?
