AW: [governance] Proposal for the 23rd May IGF consultationand advisory group meeting please

[Lee McKnight]

I feel both IGF and ICANN are worthy of focused plenary discussion on
their own terms, as is access.

That leaves  Parminder/Bill's suggestion of a survey of public policy
issues and insttiutions at 1 as a stand alone thing as well.

I think this conversation would best be put under the framework of #4
-
Mandate and role of IGF. Based on my reading of Bill's description of
that, it involves an equal comparison of all the IGOs on the basis of
the WSIS principles. 

I think an exceptional approach to ICANN is justified by the fact that
ICANN is not an IGO. There are two distinct and interesting issues
that
could be discussed -- its status as an international organization
(e.g.,
the talk about moving it out of the US) and the changing role of the
GAC.
