I would contend that initiated by the UN as was the case in the 2005 GA resolution and improved by ECOSOC/CSTD as was approved in the 2010 is a loss of ground and to some degree a diminution in the IGF independence.

Yes, it is possible that the CSTD and all the powers that be say, good job, keep doing what you are doing and here are a few recommendations for you all to consider.  

So i will hold out hope that at the end of the CSTD WG -> CSTD -> ECOSOC -> GA journey we will still have an independent IGF initiated by the UNSG.  I will consider anything less a sad loss.

Good luck to the CS representatives.  I mean people in their own capacity who got their nomination from a CS decision process.
