MAG meeting summary report -Re: [governance] open consultations

[Fouad Bajwa]

In my personal opinion and strong support of this, that its time to
create or identify the link between Internet Governance and
Development or simply said IG4D.

From the continuous sharing of IG4D and support by many members of the
open consultations as well as support by many in the MAG, the topic
was discussed but dropped to be the theme of a proposed session.

So I would say, I felt drained the second day! Deprived infact. Well
that may just be my own feeling.
