Hm.
That may be used to discuss the creation of the 
WSIS, the WGIG, the IGF, and a number of other 
entities, which were created in the bottom-up 
mechanism, exactly the way you described it. 
Without going too much into details, and because 
I've witnessed the history of the creation of the 
CS Bureau, I'd like to point out that there are 
certainly better models than this one.
