How's this:

We reiterate our previously stated dissatisfaction with the limited
representation of civil society in the first instance of the Advisory
Group, as full civil society representation is necessary to ensure
legitimacy for this new experiment in global governance. CS is
underrepresented, we (and others) agree, and we want to support the
remedying of that anomaly.

We also note that organizations having an important role in the
development of Internet-related technical standards and relevant
policies should continue to be represented in the MAG. However, their
representation should not be at the expense of broader civil society
participation.

--------------------

The above has some of Ian's, some of Lee's and some of our previous
text intermingled.

Doh!

Looks like Adam has beaten me to the punch, and I am happy to accept
his more eloquent text.
