[governance] Draft response to MAG questionnaire

[Izumi AIZU]

Thank you Jeremy for kicking off this important collaborative work.
And I also largely agree with Milton,
Wolfgang, and other interventions.

I find one important element not spelled out, however,
that is the "development" orientation. I am not sure where best to insert, yet.

I mean while the numeric balance of MAG composition is considered
well, members from both developing and developed parts of the world
are reasonably balanced, the actual participation to IGF meetings,
outputs or outcomes of developmental agendas and their progress are
still far from satisfactory. Some of the panels are totally occupied
by "North" and "commercial", even we have some excellent sessions with
developmental aspects.

I don't want to just "complain", rather I like to put some kind of
positive proposal to change this situation for the next round.

I also like to mention about the "language" issue. As I put into the
Governance list during Vilnius meeting, we could propose to enlarge
non-English languages into working languages of some sessions. Again,
I am not sure where to put this kind of ideas, this time, but I really
like to see the "diversity" exercised at or by IGF itself.
