And even if it says IO, is that really a traditional home for the 
private sector or technical community organisations such as ICANN, and 
IETF.

...is a recent attendee list from CSTD, and they have a category for
Intergovernmental Organisation, separate from "United Nations" 
(organisations). And finally a category of "Specialised Agency".

All of those are separate from actual government reps (categorised by UN 
region for the purposes of this WG), so would at least have to find some 
home as a distinct "5" I'd have thought.

Bringing up the rear are NGOs, CS and business, and "Resource persons".
