[governance] AW: IGF Improvement

[Bertrand de La Chapelle]

For any useful purpose, I can confirm that this is not in conformity with
either the letter or the spirit of the resolution drafted in the CSTD in
May, then endorsed in July at Ecosoc (and later in the GA if I am not
mistaken).

In addition, this should NOT be a decision by the CSTD bureau. This group is
NOT a CSTD group, it is a group that the CHAIR of the CSTD has to convene,
"in an open and inclusive manner".

These formulations had been chosen on purpose.

Non-participation is the way forward but only if significant governments go
along. Fallback process could be merely to have a consultation process open
to all stakeholders.

Joint document would be good, between IGC, Basis, ISOC, but also
governments, in particular in the European Union I suppose.
