So.....Avri, Wolfie, Adam, Jeanette and others who hold dual
memberships in MAG and IGC are ok in both camps because they aren't
central enough and/or the MAG doesn't set policy?

But if the IGF did make policy (which you and others on this list seem
to want) then those dual folk wouldn't be "CS" in your book anymore?
(depending on "centrality" of course).

I think we can both agree on the use of the word "absurd" here.


BTW I don't think

I am perfectly happy having Bertrand, Raul/Veni (temporary gov folk in
WSIS) or anyone else, vote as long as they agree to the charter.

In the same way I wont have an ICANN full board member participating

I am curious to know what actions you plan, as coordinator of this
list, in regards to list participation by Thomas Narten and Wendy
Seltzer? Would you unsubscribe them?  Moderate their posts in which
ICANN is mentioned?

I have a haiku for that notion as well:

Spartacus Youth League
Enhanced Cooperation
Neoliberal
