There is one point that I don't understand in this discussion.

If we accept the claim that RIRs etc. are not part of civil society and 
cannot be represented through civil society, then there is the need for 
a separate "stakeholder group" including these organizations so that 
they can be represented through this other mechanism. If, on the other 
hand, we claim that there can be only three stakeholder groups and not a 
fourth one for the "technical community", then the technical community 
must be an equal member of the civil society group of stakeholders.

I don't understand whether this is being taken into account - ie, those 
who think that the IGC Nomcom should consider nominees from the 
technical community, feel that the technical community belongs into the 
civil society group? And do those who oppose that think that there 
should be a separate stakeholder group for the techies?
