[governance] IGC statement to IGF MAG - Yea

I support "Core Internet Resources and THEIR current governance
institutions"

It 

* makes the point more clearly than "ICANN and Core Internet Resources" - 

and 

* leads to a more appropriate discussion of the scope and role of ICANN than
the assumption that core Internet resources governance and ICANN are somehow
synonymous

and 

* doesn’t get the back up of those for whom a direct discussion of ICANN is
either passé or inappropriate

Lee, Carlos, would you settle for this change? I believe it's likely to gain
more support from other constituencies and reduces the risk of civil society
being marginalized.

Mawaki

Under the consensus call rule

" Some relatively substantive changes may also be accepted only if there is
a resounding support, and no opposition at all, to them. However, this will
be an exception, again completely up to the discretion of the
co-coordinators." 

You may still keep this suggested change on the table..

Instead of :
> 
> "(2) ICANN and Core Internet Resources"
> we could have
> "(2) Core Internet Resources and current governance institutions"

However, it will have to meet the strict conditions of the above rule. There
should be more support - and no opposition (with earlier opposition - Lee,
Afonso - withdrawn), and we will also check offline with those who have been
pressing the ICANN discussion case most, and then it is still left to the
discretion of co-coordinators... And also to see the exceptional nature of
such a change (no pouring in more requests pl :))

Parminder 

PS: meanwhile, if a change is at all to take place, in my personal capacity,
I wonder if "Core Internet Resources and THEIR current governance
institutions" looks more specific to the institutions we want discussed than
"Core Internet Resources and current governance institutions"
