This is what I now understand too.  There is no official conclusion of
the IGF. There will be a report to the Sec General will give to the UN
GA (required by Tunis Agenda), but we don't know what that will be
like.

The one page summary you write will be on the IGF website.  If you can
take the floor in the morning open mic session, then whatever you say
will be heard by all.

Anyway.  Will try to get some clarity on this.
