[governance] CSTD Q4-Working methods and preparation

[Lee W McKnight]

Different communities have different 'usual' ways.

But yeah cool new tools and old standbys like lists and conference calls can help 'layers' however defined, ie by geography or interest, or other, interact efficiently.

The usual way it's done is by local meetings and subcommittees, then
appointing representatives to go to a physical meeting to nail down all
the final details. If the IGF manages to find a way to scale these
processes into an online environment (for the topic of Internet
Governance), the whole world can then use the same tools for discussing
other completely unrelated topics. That would be a very empowering
result.
