I think it is a little premature to come up with its own names
or Domain names for the new cross-sector mechanism.

I like to keep it loose and informal, and mainly doing the
coordination among the like-minded groups by "liaisons"
but not to share the whole members and bring into
one "body" such as council or whatever.

I mean, on the one hand taking the lessons seriously
and we need to focus what should be done, but I think
that is more of issue or task based functions first, then
the mechanism or form should follow the functions as
it develops.

Jeremy and I have corresponded with our Nomcom, Ian and asked
if they like to select 5 members for the WG, instead of 10, and
I guess they will discuss within Nomcom and may proceed that.

Then if we select 5, whether we will join ICC for private sector
WG members and ISOC for Tech/Academic community and
present 15 (if not IGOs), will be an important strategic decision
worth to discuss on this list. This is, what I call "function" first.

Of course, I welcome other ideas,

izumi
