Actually I tried to organize it for a number of days during the 
PrepCom, and there would be always 2-3 people only showing up :) 
Until the North Americans showed up, and took the management in their hand:-)

Not until the WSIS, I stayed only for a couple of months. But I 
didn't brought the subject to discuss my own time there (althoug I 
spend a lot of time trying to help, and it was nothing compared to 
people like you or Karen); rather to show that the current talk about 
organizing a Bureau around the IGF has a history behind it. I 
remember that at some point I personally have been mistaken thinking 
that the WGIG, or the CS Bureau could do something; it took me some 
time to understand that the political agenda is completely different 
from what we have done and wanted to do in Bulgaria vis-a-vis 
development of Information Society. Which, by the way, was the 
initial idea behind the WSIS - bridging the digital divide.
