Yes, but what you said was

"I was told by my colleagues that some civil society members here 
proposed a bureau structure for the IGF, and some government 
delegates were inquiring whether that is the official position of the 
Internet governance caucus."

Nothing to do with Brazil's comments.  And Francis seems to 
disassociated himself the caucus (Louis of course is a 
participant/member.)

Whatever. Sitting in the room it sounded like you had dodged the 
question as you yourself phrased it, particularly as it came at the 
end of a long statement where you began with comments from the 
caucus, then added observations of your own, and then back to a 
non-committal comment about a bureau.

Answering the question as you phrased it, is a bureau structure 
proposal the "official position of the Internet governance caucus". 
The answer is obviously No.

But it's fine.  They got the message.

Thanks,

Adam
