[governance] After Tunis

[David Goldstein]

Hi all

I would say that it's not possible to represent "civil
society" in deliberations. Civil society would be much
larger than this list, but this is not to say there is
not much this list can contribute.

I would argue this list can represent a certain group
of civil society and do it well, but not represent
civil society around the world.

Apart from that I do agree entirely with Vittorio's
comments.

And I would love to contribute more, but there are
only so many hours in a day!

Cheers
David
