consultations.

Could it? It took a UN Summit to prepare the current mandate.  Would a
"consultation" have the authority to formally mandate the IGF to take
on other tasks?

Some suggest we should be strongly pushing for a new multi-stakeholder
policy-making institution (eg. Parminder), and others (eg. Marilia,
and me if I was not trying to be an impartial coordinator) see this
body as being part of the IGF.  If so, this would require the "new and
supplementary mandate".

IF IGF was created by WSIS, then wouldn't it be expected that WSIS
2015 would have to change that mandate?

Thank you.
