Just individuals, it's too hard otherwise... and not really necessary. 
This is intended as a pretty informal document.  But for it to come from 
just one person would have made it too easy to ignore.

It will evolve over time, no doubt, but we would like to be setting 
something in place that could carry on for the term of the IGF's mandate.

In response to the suggestion that we are asking too much, I'd rather 
ask for too much, if I strongly believe in it, than too little.  Did
