[governance] CSTD WG on IGF meeting started

[Izumi AIZU]

Adam, thanks and it is true that we have not YET discussed the
participation from developing countries. And the stats are no well
captured.

Having said that, number of participants is one indicator, but not all - I mean
number of Key players, speakers, etc. and discussions around, could be
different -
I mean there still seem to be less "active" players from developing
parts of the world, but it is difficult to "prove".
