Yes, I understand the existence of a virtual community, active before, 
during and after IGF is of importance to encourage contributions. It's 
also why I was assuming that the lively contributions on Slashdot was 
also due to the sense of community that already exists on that 
platform/between those who discuss there.
The other issue is the management of that community considering the 
suggestion below :

I can't imagine right now clearly what this management will require from 
the Secretariat side, what political implications for them it will have, 
etc. Maybe they don't want too much trouble it's why they've established 
this discussion space they've put on the IGF website 
http://intgovforum.org/forum/ :-)

Thanks
