It is an officially stated position, especially in varoius MAG reforms 
discussions, that selection is stakeholder group based. The current 
discussion here in the WG on IGF improvements is on increasing 
'representation' of under represented groups, including developing 
countries. In this context, contesting stakeholder group or constituency 
basis of membership of the MAG makes a discussion on improving 
representation of marginalized group quite meaningless. That is my 
problem, coming from being situated in the middle of such a discussion 
here in the WG, which triggered my response. I am sorry that the term 
offended you. It was used in the sense of a 'good imagined thing that 
doesnt happen in reality' and not meant specifically for what you said 
but for the general 'just representing oneself' proposition often made 
in this kind of a discussion.
