Though I've joked that I prefer to call them "hawks" and "weasels".

Yes, it would be a shame if the Indian proposal dies here.  Perhaps we
could bring it up again in a workshop this year?  How about:

"A Post-Mortem on the CSTD Working Group on Improvements to the IGF"

Perhaps the title is a bit morbid, but such a workshop could be an
excellent opportunity to bring back the members of the CSTD Working
Group from all stakeholder groups, to discuss the Working Group's (lack
of) outcomes candidly.

CSTD Working Group members on this list, would you be willing to attend
the panel of such a workshop?

Remembering that our deadline is only next Friday so we have to finalise
our workshop proposals soon (and so far, there are none firmly on the
table).
