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

[Lee W McKnight]

I am shocked! there is politics at UN. 

Ok, not so much.

2 part strategy imho: 

1) propose good workshops + plenary thingies asap /make IGF V a substantive success

2) make noise as Jeanette suggests while, like good UN player, working system. Our good friends at CSTD, all governments, and other stakeholders are of course pursuing the planet's best interests. Except when... we make noise that they're not.

I think the only powerful means we have is campaigning, campaigning in a
big way. The way we did in the early stages of WSIS.
