Maybe or maybe not, but the survey is broader and looks at all of the
barriers that impede participation in institutions that discuss policy
for the information society.  Formal accreditation rules are only one
such barrier of many.  Expect the survey to launch in the coming days. 
We will be asking IGC members to help disseminate it through their
networks of contacts.  The preliminary results will be discussed at our
IGC-sponsored Mapping Internet Governance workshop at the IGF, and a
follow-up paper will be published by Consumers International later in
the year.
