<br>
</span>Yes, that reference to "coalition members" refers to the (currently<br>
five) networks that are members of CSCG, one of which is IGC.<br>
<br>
While I'm at this stage not able to promise anything beyond "we would<br>
consider it", I think it very likely that if IGC were to take a<br>
reasonable and strong position that this "IGF Planning Retreat" should<br>
be boycotted unless some specific reasonable conditions are met, that<br>
then JNC would be willing to support that position. In addition I think<br>
it very likely that then at least one further CSCG member would at least<br>
be neutral in relation to that position.<br>
<br>
