Aihe: Re: [governance] Summary Report of IGF MAG available


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

	Is there any way to challenge whether 50% government is really multistakeholder?
