[governance] Re: My note on CSTD IGF WG consultation Dec 17

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Dear all

I still need to post my thoughts  on the CSTD meeting last week. Much of 
my energy in the last few days has gone into trying to get back to South 
Africa from Europe.

I think we do need a space for working on IGF improvements, but I think 
we shoudl steer clear from the language of 'council of ....'.  That 
implies representative structures which we have no legitimate claim to 
at present.

As Roland says the proposed title is very close to CONGO which 
represents the ECOSOC accredited organisations.
