Which is part of why I suggested several times that like ISOC and ICC, the IGC make a statement supporting an independent, MS-friendly secretariat in Geneva.  Not that this would have affected the outcome, but it might have been helpful in future contexts to be able to say all non-state stakeholders have expressed the same view.
