> I was chatting with Ginger and we both like the idea of having discussion summaries but recognize that that is a significant task for any one person to take on (although if there is a volunteer that would be great!).  We then thought it might be more feasible to ask individual contributors to synthesize their own contributions.  Drilling down to the essence of everyone's arguments might bring enhanced clarity to the discussion and also open the door to more diverse participation.


Another option is to work on incorporating these thoughts into our responses to the MAG questionnaire on the future of the IGF (the six questions that we all answered a while back - no, I haven't forgotten it!).  Over the next two weeks I'll be developing a poll based on the questionnaire answers and discussions, and then posting it for feedback as a draft.  We can also add summaries of this thread, where relevant, into the poll answers and background material.  The advantage of this is that we will have a permanent archive of it, whereas even the most valuable list discussions can be quite ephemeral.
