[governance] Re: Remote participation for the open consultations and MAG meeting

[Izumi AIZU]

For overall theme, I wanted to suggest something like

Internet as catalyst for change: Access, Development, Democracy and Innovation.

I have problem with "driver" - since it is people, not Internet that
leads the change,
and Internet only plays a catalyst role, so to speak.

If they have problem with "democratization" in the political context,
then "democracy"
is an agreed upon word (however they interpret).

BUT, we lost the opportunity which should not be that controversial.

And given that I am going to participate in the CLOSED CSTD WG meeting
from tomorrow, I really wanted this MAG "informal" meeting to be more
flexible.

Say, at least CS-based MAG members, if you open up Skype channel, you can
still liaise with us.
