As a member of that secretariat until a year ago, I did not even begin to think of it as a possibility until I left the secretariat and started thinking for myself again and rereading the Sacred Books of WSIS. It was, for all intents and purposes taboo, and no one in the MAG, up until today, ever seriously argued that it should be included. Several voices in the IGC did (Jeremy foremost among them), and maybe even an advisor to the chair did, but I can't remember a MAG member doing so.<br><br>And at that point, most of those from the Internet community were not willing to even discuss what we not euphemistically call management of critical Internet resources. I put it down to FUD and the immaturity of the organization at that point, it was still finding its way. (I know some people object strongly to that way of looking at it)<br><br>Now, the IGF is much more mature and has found out that no subject should be taboo. As far as I am concerned the IGF, and its MAG, should start plotting its own course.<br><br>avri<br></blockquote>
