It was offered by the chair as an option (expressed as being the 
original "WGIG stakeholders"), during the special lunchtime session in 
Vilnius.

By the end of the session, despite several interventions supporting "all 
stakeholders including ITC", it was still the chair's preferred model 
(with government balanced with non-government, and maybe thinking that 
30+10+10+10 would be too big a group).

The chair also seemed to want the stakeholder groups (including the five 
individual UN regions) to make their choices independently of himself. I 
know some people think that including at least some of the governments 
who have been previous IGF organisers would be useful, however that 
requires more insight into the UN's selection processes than I currently 
have.

Whatever representations were made, I don't think it has changed 
anything yet. Although many of those concerned have been tied up in the 
ITU Plenipot for the last few weeks, and others were perhaps expecting 
the opportunity to contribute to an online consultation, during October, 
regarding the arrangements (amongst other things).
