[governance] WG - +5?

[Bertrand de La Chapelle]

Avri,

I have no doubt that such a parallel process would take place if the format
of the working group is not satisfactory. Properly set up in an open and
inclusive manner, it would clearly contribute to challenging the legitimacy
of the "official" one.

As a matter of fact, we should remember that the Tunis Agenda requested a
consultation of "IGF participants" to address the issue of the continuation
of the IGF. It would be ironic to have the "improvements" to the IGF decided
in a less participatory manner than the fundamental question of whether the
IGF should continue or not.
