True believer in MSism as a policy discussing model or a policy making 
model ! :)

And if the IGF is ever going to be able to move anyway closer to policy 
making, in fact even to meaningfully input into global IG policy making, 
how and when ??   I have seen any effort to improve IGF's meaningful 
role in global IG policy making blocked vehemently, mostly by those who 
otherwise call themselves adherent supporters of MSism 
(multistakeholderism) and of the IGF  (the latest was a very strong 
blocking of the proposal that IGF gives out 'messages' on key issues as 
the EuroDIG does).

In fact, some of those who are considered antagonist to MSism - like 
developing country governments, are the ones who have, and still are, 
advocating, some more clear and meaningful outcomes from the MS forum of 
the IGF.

Shedding of any light on this paradox will be highly appreciated.

That could help us in deciding whether MSism is a model for making (or 
helping make) policy, or of obstructing progressive policy making 
possibilities.
