Hi,

I am sending this mail from the CRIS meeting ..
 
While addressing issues of IG, I heard Jeanette Hoffman, for the third time in 
two days speak about .... how the IG caucus has been working for a long time 
with its members achieving consensus and how in the recent past, after 
PC3, 'new members' have come in and have 'disrupted' the process. In the CRIS 
meeting, she also mentioned that ... 'we should make sure in the forum that 
such things do not happen'

In the IG meeting yesterday, Adam clarified, and I too responded to her view, 
saying that IG being a large and complex area is bound to have different views 
and perspectives. 

I cannot understand how such closed views on participation can be propagated 
by a person moderating the caucus.

It is clear who Jeanette is referring to as 'disrupting' the process. I 
suggest that this issue be clarified - whether the IG caucus would like 
these 'new members' to leave the caucus, or Jeanette should be asked to stop 
making such comments, specially when she is speaking on behalf of the IG 
caucus.

Guru
