[governance] Round III - 15 from non-gov stakeholders 5+5+5

Iran said we must have ECOSOC rules. I said it would be extremely hard for CS to live under ECOSOC rules, we can't sell it to folks, and that we worked very well with the Iranian rep in WGIG without such.

Text now circulated at US insistence drops the rules. Now discussing lingo on encouraging vs requiring equal developing country participation, may be an issue for biz etc.

One happy change this time, EU and US repeatedly saying there must be fair treatment of nongovernmentals. Better late than never.

Almost 8pm, lights going out in building, I will have to leave soon.
