What is the significance of 2015? On previous occasions, my 
understanding was that the various deadlines were in place in order for 
organisations to apply for ECOSOC Consultative Status (as discussed in 
the context of attending the recent ECOSOC meeting).

Perhaps the first thing to decide is whether each CS entity wishes to 
participate in the "normal" way, by gaining ECOSOC Consultative Status 
(which several have already done), or do they wish the 'exceptional' 
arrangements to continue.

They should also be clear within themselves whether the reason for being 
interested in CSTD is because, for the time being, it is where certain 
aspects of the future of the IGF are discussed. Or do these CS entities 
wish to become involved in the other activities of the CSTD, either 
today or in the future when IGF renewal is no longer on their agenda 
(for whatever reason it was removed).
