[governance] Brazilian speech morning session CSTD

[Drake William]

Since I just finished sending Alvaro a reply on the same, I might as well share it.

> Thanks Alvaro.  I appreciate your intent to find a middle way, but being invited as a non-member of the WG to speak at a meeting isn't real multistakeholderism, isn't consistent with the Tunis Agenda, and isn't terribly attractive.  I don't see why nongovernmental should help in such a scenario, personally.

You provided us an example of how dealing with a such a complex process in a transparent way, not in a black box approach"
