Still none the wiser.  Is anyone else disturbed about the lack of 
transparency in the operations of the Secretariat and the MAG?  I have 
been following IGF issues very closely for my PhD (well, as closely as I 
can from outside the MAG), and yet this is the first I have heard of any 
SAG.  There is *no* information about it on the Web or in any mailing 
list archives I've seen.  What is it?  Why haven't we been told about it 
before?

I think a more urgent topic than those in the provisional agenda for the 
IGC at IGF meeting is to talk about how the IGF's provisional structure 
needs to be reformed to make it more transparent and accountable - in 
fact, closer to the structure of the IGC itself.  Some notes from me on 
this (email me if you want a PDF of the expanded version) are at 
http://igfwatch.org/discussion-board/reform-of-the-internet-governance-forum. 
  Does anyone else see this as an issue or is it just me?
