[governance] Caucus

[Lee McKnight]

I agree with Jeanette, and with regard to MMWG it is more the opposite that the caucus should drive as far as it can to consensus whenever it can, when not, smaller groups are always free to fall back to one or another venue to agree on a statement. And of course there are still larger and more diffuse venues too - just wait for the IGF global circus! : )

What you mean, "old" caucus? It is merely 3 years old...

I think it would be a severe mistake to abandon the caucus since so many 
people know about its existence and its people by now.

I agree with Milton that the caucus needs a new structure to survive. I 
have been planning to write up some of my thoughts but havn't got around 
doing this yet.
