[governance] FW: [IRP] Please provide your input on the impact of the IGF

Hmmm... That's precisely what I've done... "a (diverse) group of people with
some detailed knowledge and experience in an area such as this"

Your are specifically avoiding the point.  Define suitable.  Just what it
means to you is fine.

As a matter of fact, yes... Having a group of people with some detailed
knowledge and experience in an area such as this would seem to me to be a
positive value... The difficulty comes in if that group is not sufficiently
diverse or representative of the range of those with an interest in
(interests in) the area (i.e. "suitable"...  which of course, has been the
basis of my critique/commentary on the IGF from the beginning.

What do you mean by this paragraph. Are you stating that a "suitable" cadre
is a positive impact?

Rather the significance of the IGF should be seen in terms of how it has
directly and indirectly contributed to the creation of a basis for
concensus, a language for discussion, a (suitable) cadre of informed people
to carry on the discussion (it is here where I have my issues with the
current IGF but I won't go into those further at this point), the provision
of a venue for the undertaking of the discussions and so on and so on.  None
of this is particularly "national" (in fact little of it is likely to be
national which is the point I think of transnational agencies) and little of
it is likely to be visible as concrete "impacts" (or even outputs--which is
what is currently being discussed in the form of possible IGF
"recommendations" etc.). So a quest for
identification/assessment/determination of "impacts" is really beside the
point.
