To the best of my knowledge no.  "enhanced cooperation" is considered 
a separate from IGF.  However, had someone proposed a workshop on the 
issue it would probably have been accepted.  There are no free slots 
for new topics.

We always knew the MoU was coming to and end shortly before Athens. 
Had the new agreement been as controversial as the NTIA statement of 
last summer then I think enough governments etc would have been 
annoyed enough to have made it an issue in Athens.  But I don't think 
the agreement we've just seen will anger too many too much.
