Focussing on just the IGF doesn't seem right.

All the stakeholders need to meet and discuss this. To some extent that 
was maybe what the IGF was supposed to foster, but something a bit more 
agile would get faster results.

CSTD experimented with transcription at their 24th November session, but 
it was difficult because of microphone problems, and also because the
