By the UN I mean Nitin, of course, who is an executive under orders of
the Secretary General. The format in Egypt was that we should have
enough time to read the full regional reports and time for debate, but
the session had little time for this. So what they did was to make this
little time official -- now we will not be able to read the reports in
full, just a briefing, and who knows how much time we will have for
debate. Recalling here, of course, that the only glimpses of
recommendations in the IGF emerged in these reports, and you have a
sense of what is going to happen... or not happen.
