[governance] AW: [tt-group] FW: GAID

[Carlos A. Afonso]

One of the hurdles of building this "G12" (for one, it should probably
be called "GXY" for now) is the regional distribution in representation.
I think it raises a lot of problems bundling together Mexico with the
USA in the "North America" representation -- and where do you fit the
Caribbean? So each region has its particularities and this group, if it
really is to go ahead, needs a lot of careful debate to arrive at
something which is not "defective by design" or just worthless. I think
Reding needs to mingle a bit more with the people in the different
regions before suggesting structures like this.

Also, not sure if including Icann would not require including other
international entities closely related to one or more central items of
IG, which I think are at least as relevant as Icann's.
