[governance] Statement by Internet technical & academic community reps to CSTD WG on IGF

[George Sadowsky]

Hey Sam,

This is an excellent statement, thanks to all who participated!

Of course, it does open the possibility of having this CSTD working 
group becoming a continuing series of meta-meetings without 
termination to determine the shape of the continuing series of IGF 
meetings, perhaps without termination.  Perhaps the CSTD working 
group could even eventually evolve into a bureau with decision making 
capability!  :-)

Given the location of the multistakeholder group in which the I* 
community is firmly embedded  --  within the formal structure of the 
UN system  --  that could be an interesting development.

Cheers,

George
