Hi there,

Thanks to my interest in caipirinhas (I make the best ones in town,  
even in a Brazilian town..), I've read Carlos's message and have thus  
been alerted of this message from Suresh below, in a thread I  
promised myself to read later, when I would have time.

Could you please Suresh not use us - or at least me - against  
Parminder or anyone else here? Thanks.
Parminder has the right to argue in any substantive discussion, and  
has proven at many occasion, that his substantive positions doesn't  
prevent him to be the perfect coordinator that we need. Last  
occasion, when preparing IGC statement to the IGF consultation of  
February, I really admired his capacities to handle this, and if I  
well remember, he was commended by many people for this.

So, let's stop this.
And let's concentrate first on defining the workshop where we have  
consensus. Other workshops will be organized by other sponsors: the  
IGC is not going to convene all IGF workshops!

Just in case some people haven't understood: we're trying to identify  
workshop themes, not running the workshop discussions themselves:)

Best,
Meryem
