Jeremy, Not that simple. the CIR management regime issue was key to both 
what happened at the WSIS and what is happening now in the discussion on 
this list, whether explicit or not....

And ACTA is mentioned not as 'an issue'  but a symptom of the main 
problem of the need  for democratic global Internet related public 
policy making processes (in non CIR areas as well as in CIR, but it is 
helpful to understand them separately) that is the very rationale of the 
EC process. This is to help elucidate the 'main issue' that needs to be 
engaged with in an EC discussion. We are not engaging with the rational 
and purpose of EC, and only saying if anything happens CS should be 
there. Parminder
