[governance] igc at igf consultations

[Adam Peake]

I had hoped (actually thought you had agreed to 
write something) the caucus would comment on 
modalities etc suggested in the draft program:
If we have comments on "Basic Meeting Structure" 
(section 2 of the draft program, particularly 
suggestions about workshops, their number, 
whether linked to main themes and importance of 
keep a number [how many?] of open topic workshop 
slots, etc), "3 Meeting Types",  best practise 
sessions etc. What do we think of the "Topical 
Issue" session.

Photocopying: ask the secretariat, they are often 
able to help. And it's a good idea to check if 
documents can be distributed (I see absolutely no 
reason why not, but who knows what odd rule might 
have come back to haunt us.)

If not the secretariat then CONGO are sure to know how to get copies made.

Discussion: kill the bureau idea please.  Very 
valid comments about process, but any arrangement 
and label "bureau" will kill us.  Read 
transcripts of the stocktaking session February 
2007, and also the first meeting on IGF  February 
2006.

See you in a couple of days.

Adam
