I would be very happy to have a statement showing support for the development agenda concept as a cross cutting thematic, and we seem to be getting somewhere at least in part with respect to a main session at Vilnius.  But I'm not sure it's best to introduce the point in a complaint sentence about MAG not doing whatever we asked in Sharm, especially because I don't know whether the DA concept was fully raised, discussed and then ignored/rejected in MAG.  Can our MAGites please clarify?  If that didn't occur, then I'd reframe it as a proposal rather than a complaint, along the lines of IGC has issued a number of statements inter alia supporting this theme, its members have organized a number of workshops on it, and we continue to believe it would be a productive avenue for the IGF to pursue going forward, particularly with respect to promoting greater developing country participation. Or whatever.

Greeting from Wolfgang's ICANN Studienkreis in Barcelona, where we had a nice debate yesterday on enhanced cooperation, intergovernmentalist maneuvers, et al...today new gTLDs and IDNs..

Bill
