[governance] Role of CSTD in the IGF review process.

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Hello Roland,

Feels good to know that the CSTD had discussions about IGF at length.

I didn't imply that the CSTD to be totally out of touch, but felt that CSTD
might not have followed it as closely as representatives of the ICT
ministries would have.

There would be no harm if we pay a bit of attention to the CSTD phase of the
IGF review process. And beyond watching what happens at the CSTD, if we can
find a way to reach out to the CSTD it would be one more step (even if
redundant) in ensuring that the IGF is renewed.

Thank you
Sivasubramanian Muthusamy
