I think we'd quite soon face the same situation as we kind of see now with open forums when they become quasi-workshops.  What I mean is, we are trying to create a fair and transparent process for the IGF adhering to various principles, side events would perhaps side-step those processes and principles.  So for now my answer is we do not want ALL outcomes from IGF-linked processes to be reflected. Not until we know what we're dealing with and have principle-based processes in place,
