Business (and many of us) do seem to take the view of IGF as an ICT 
policy shop.  IG missing.  Perhaps it would be helpful if this caucus 
could reaffirm what it think should be discussed (in addition to 
those policy issues that many seem interested in.) What is IG, why is 
it important, examples of issues it would be useful to address.

Thanks,

Adam
