yes - i can update anna fielder (the TACD rep on the OECD civil 
society coord group) on the proposal -  consumer rights groups in 
general are not very involved in ICT policy work or IG work.. but 
we've started to address this in outreaching to consumers union and 
consumers international around access to broadband

robert guerra kindly introduced me to canadian CU groups which i 
haven't followed up on

it would be good if all workshop proponents - and the caucus in 
general - look at how we can bring the consumer rights groups into 
the IGF more generally..
