[governance] EC consultation in NY: my report

[Izumi AIZU]

Taking off my coordinator hat, I think there is another option:

Still trying to make EC consultation process also as multi-stakeholder,
in view of, if any, EC WG or something created, it should be
MSH we should stick to.

That does not mean to consider empowering IGF including the
possible option of making recommendations or reports, etc.
something similar to, perhaps, WGIG kind of exercise.

As Milton indicated, just saying the status quo is working fine
and no change needed, in the context of "IGF improvement"
and "enhanced" cooperation, is rather weak, IMHO.

my 2 cents,

izumi

Until now this has been widely rejected because of the fear that being asked to  make recommendations would destroy the productive and open discussions that take place there.  But what I draw from Milton's report is that it may be a choice between a recommendation-making IGF, *or* a new purely intergovernmental forum which would quickly make the IGF redundant (excellent report by the way Milton; and excellent response Avri).  In that context, which would we rather choose?  If I were in Geneva, I would put it in those stark terms.
