The MAG does not exist anymore, and it seems to tranform into an informal
consultation process with no webcast nor scribes - at least that is the 
status quo at the moment.

 From what you write, Jeanette, would you also subscribe to this?
"The longer New York waits with any announcement regarding the future of
the IGF organizing structure, the more contested Nitin's (and the SG's) 
status will become."

Explanatory note: I talked to some government people this afternoon while 
sneaking out of the IGF informal consultations and having a coffee. They 
were a bit surprised - to say the least - that this informal meeting was 
not announced as open. This will hit Nitin, not the MAG. He said yesterday 
at the request of Russia:
CHAIRMAN DESAI: I think the only reference so far to meetings was that a
further consultation like this in September. I know there's nothing else 
on my agenda between now and then.  So I'm not aware of anything else 
between that and the September meeting.

Best, Ralf
