[governance] No concluding ending for CSTD WG to IGF improvement

[Lee W McKnight]

At least to me CSTD is looking...not so competent at the moment. 

So Wolfgang's worry about the multistakeholder process being discredited by this bumbling interregnum I'm not sure is main thing.

So main thing is probably ensuring next IGF is substantive and well-run, even in absence of Nitin and Markus; IGC's part is submitting - solid workshop proposals, which we haven't been talking about much while trying to get the cstd thing to amount to something.

Anyway, real choice to me (from cheap seats far from Geneva)  is: 1) continue to push back on CSTD/submit alternate report; 2) move on, let CSTD chair's report close this sorry chapter - we can say we told them it was not set up properly, but so what - and spend our time pulling together good workshop proposals for Nairobi. 

Right now I am thinking 2) is more important for IGF in long run than 1).  

But I look forward to hearing from others that were there what they think priorities should be now.
