 From the purely practical point of view we have anecdotal evidence from 
the Athens meeting and the move from New Delhi to Hyderabad that around 
9 months is sufficient to organise an event. It's not that much bigger 
than (say) an ICANN meeting, and as far as I can see ICANN is currently 
still looking for a sponsor/venue for June 09, and only very recently 
announced Mexico for March 09.

Therefore I agree that while the 4th IGF in 2009 might be a good place 
to start discussing a successor, it would also be possible to postpone a 
decision until after the 5th meeting.
