Robert, please stick with it, we all fully support you and your  
colleagues on this.

Markus Kummer has behaved deceitfully to me and others in the past.   
(This is not a personal slight, it is in his job description as a  
diplomat.)  It angers me that even we within the IGC are expected to  
treat him and Nitin Desai with kid gloves because any slight upon the  
Secretariat is seen as doing injury to the IGF as a whole.

Well, this is a matter of high principle and frankly even if the IGF  
as an institution is damaged by the fallout, in my opinion, so be it.
