[governance] New version of WSIS CS statement: Two IG issues

[Jacqueline Morris]

I think that maybe modalities and substance could be separated into
two groups? So that one can work on the multistakeholder processes and
structures without getting embroiled in the actual content of the
discussions, and the other can work on the issues in the structrue and
processes that the first one manages to open up to CS? I think that
this may be more manageable, as it will be a HUGE amount of work, and
also some people may prefer to focus on one rather than the other? Of
course this does not preclude ppl working on both if they have the
time and energy and so choose.
