[governance] AW: IGF Improvement

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

The decision was made in a CSTD bureau meeting yesterday at a late hour when only a limited number of governments where in the room. Only a very small group of governments, including Portugal and Switzerland, defended the multistakeholder model but the majority of the CSTD members in the room argued that it would be better for the process if the governments can discuss improvement - based on the input of the various stakeholders - among themselves.
 
We have to wait until the official announcement.
