As you know Parminder, on a personal level, I agree with you.  But in the interests of putting out a consensus statement of the IGC at large, perhaps it is best, as you suggest, that we just omit this paragraph.  How did you feel about the following one? -

>> A emerging model for this process is found in the "messages" or "recommendations" produced by national IGFs such IGF-D (Deutschland), and regional IGFs such as the East African IGF and EURODIG.  Ideally this would become a two-way process in which the institutions addressed could also turn to the IGF with issues they wished the IGF to address through multi-stakeholder dialogue."
