It is not that _the_ IGF is eager to adress it. There were at each IGF 
meeting multiple workshops organized on this issue and almost non of the 
organizers was willing to merge with other organizers. According to 
those who attended these workshops, there is a lot of agreement and not 
much new stuff coming up at the moment. Controversies persist around the 
question of what actually constitutes child _protection_.
There was a strong sense at Hyderabad and at the public consultation and 
at the MAG meeting that a few specific topics have reached a point where 
no new insights can be gained by organizing yet another workshop or main 
session to adress them. Instead, they are ready for some form of 
outcome, be it in the form recommendations, proposed codes of conducts, 
action lines or whatever.

The IGF provides the space or container to produce any such outcomes.
