Send me a ticket Milton (front of the plane please, and leave the return to
NBO open ended).

I think the tack I would take is that because there is a conflict between
those who want outputs and those who want to focus on capacity building, the
IGF spends too much time and energy on discussing itself, and not enough
time doing its main purpose, which is capacity building.  If workshops
actually focused on teaching folk instead of "shape of the table" issues it
could be very useful indeed.

<insert your para about UN bodies doing politics and publicity instead of
useful things here>
