I think that this is the troublesome part. It is now quite clear that a
second process is starting behind closed doors, with the sole
participation of governments, and who knows who else, to discuss about
ICANN reforms, GAC+ etc. This is totally contrary to what was agreed in
Tunis, and I think we should speak loudly and clearly against this.

Unless, of course, someone has already been asked to participate in
these "informal consultations" on behalf of civil society, and we just
don't know.
