Hi Carlos,<div><br></div><div>Please note that we are well capable for doing our own analysis and coming to our own independent conclusions and if that conclusion or set of inferences mirror others, then it is purely coincidental. It is not a criticism against the writers of the IBSA Summary but against the issues that were raised in the document.</div>

</div>It does already produce *some* outcomes, through the various results<br>
from workshops and similar parallel meetings. And the IGF might change,<br>
why not? Doesn't the "technical community" like changes in paradigms?<br>

</div>Now, this is really news to me, and I think I know English enough to<br>
grasp what the by now famous IBSA doc said or did not say. There is not<br>
even mention of any of these entities, which are of entirely different<br>
natures in scope, mandate, incidence, decision-making, relation to gov<br>
bodies etc etc. This was sparked by MM's furor expressed in an article<br>
in the IGP when first read the doc, and some people keep parroting this.<br>
Amazing!<br>
