Information comes out of all of thing quite quickly.  and as i said it was rumor and i was checking on its truth.

Yes as Lee said I might be wrong and such government centric views might indeed be the common civil society view now.  

While I don't know what country brought it up - nor incidentally who in CS brought it up.  it is a well known g77 position - no matter who brought it up.

Actually in this case, i.e. the CSTD IGF WG, I though you were actually representatives of the IGC which had set itself up as the representatives of CS.  On MAG, yes there is a specific 'operating in their independent capacity' notion,  but for the CSTD I thought representatives were sent.

Buess i am wrong about that too.
