"bridge", was Re: VS: [governance] Summary Report of IGF MAG available

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Avri,

thanks again for pointing to the absurdity of the sectarian, pigeon-holing 
approach. The grand collaboration that is the Internet is ill approached 
by first demanding people to divide themselves in groups and then try to 
coordinate. Much better to involve "bridge" people like you and a few 
others. The latest weeks have proven the fruitlessness of the "divide, 
divide, divide" approach.
