All,

My initial reading was the same as yours, but after some offlist chat
and a reread, it seems that Ginger is trying to formulate a fallback
position in case the HR language isn't well rec'd.  Is that correct
Ginger?

If so, I am happy to have Ginger go with either "personal or
individual aspects of Internet Governance or personal or individual
dimensions of Internet Governance" under the rule of our charter which
states:

"The coordinators will act as the official representatives of the
caucus and will be responsible for approving any statement that cannot
be discussed by the caucus within the time available.
In the case of face-to-face meetings, they will also coordinate with
the members of the IGC who are present. Any statement should reflect
the assumed general thinking of the caucus, rather than just that of
those members who are physically present at the meeting."

McTim
