What might be helpful is more detailed information, a way to get that 
would be to redesign the registration form so the information can be 
sorted as Carlos, Deirdre suggest. A lot of information collected but 
not in a way that is as useful as it might be. Would some of our MAG 
members be willing to take this on.

I doubt we'd ever get good information about who was/wasn't funded to 
attend.  Canada has give quite large amount (for I think all IGFs to 
date, and with not a lot of public acknowledgement -- IGC might make 
a comment about that sometime) that's been administered by the ITU, 
but there's not been a breakdown of who (stakeholder/region) received 
it.  My guess is there must have been more funding, but likely in 
smaller parcels so even more difficult to understand.
