is amusing to note that thanks to the Montevideo statement, the existence of these meetings has now become a public information - a very-behind-close-doors-meetings!! The I-stars meetings were not publicized before the NSA scandal pressures the I-stars.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<div>Your statement above is incorrect - the I* coordination meetings of the past have been </div>
<div>generally mundane events, but still reported by each participant as they see fit, e.g. - </div>

<div>Given the nature of the Internet, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the various Internet organizations</div>
<div>have to coordinate and it's often more efficient to do his together than via many one-on-one meetings.</div>
<div>Such coordination may not have have been "publicized" (as in press releases) but information about</div>
<div>their existence of such meetings of the various I* leaders was certainly in the public as noted above,</div>
<div>and this was well before the Montevideo Statement on the Future of Internet Cooperation.</div>
