[governance] Summary Report of IGF MAG available

[Robin Gross]

This point concerns me also.  And especially when the "special  
advisors" are added into the mix, there is an even higher percentage  
of govt representation.  For example there are 4 representatives from  
the Russian govt listed as special advisors.  I'm not sure why a non- 
host country would need such disproportionate influence in the  
process.   But I wasn't able to go to Geneva to participate in the  
meetings, so I don't have a good sense as to whether such a high  
percentage of govt representation of the MAG is a fait de complis or  
can be challenged.  I'd be curious to hear what the MAG members who  
were in Geneva think about this.

Thanks,
Robin
