I strongly recommend you watch the archived webcast of Frederic Riehl's 
the lunchtime consultation session in Vilnius. Many stakeholders 
(including Governments) spoke against the proposition that the CSTD 
committee should have a "WGIG style" composition of 20+10+10 
(government, private sector and civil society) on the grounds that the 
technical community had established itself as a separate stakeholder 
group as a result of the WSIS process.

We've seen one attempt at a compromise, but know from today's 
announcement that there are still "diverging opinions", and we can only 
assume those opinions are broadly in line with what was said in Vilnius.

(My only involvement in the process is what you've seen posted to this 
list.)
