Seiiti, Hi.  I didn't literally mean to question 
why you were responding (I wrote to the 
secretariat with the question about participation 
lists.) 

I'm interested why Robert and Vittorio think this 
an issue now when it hasn't been a concern for 
the past 4 or 5 years.  It's been the practice to 
publish a participants list through WSIS, WGIG 
consultations, and all IGF consultations and the 
Athens meeting.

Interested to know what could be wrong with providing a list of participants:

<http://www.intgovforum.org/PL_Feb13.html>

GLOCOM	Mr. Adam Peake
The Internet	Mr. Vittorio Bertola
etc

Clear when you register your name and affiliation 
will be listed.  If you speak your name and 
affiliation will be given.  If you contribute a 
document, participate in and online forum send a 
comment by email, your name (and often 
affiliation) will be given. (These are public 
meetings, you can't wear a mask.)

I agree with Tapani's comment:
