Hi Parminder
Is there a quotable source with regard to the above-mentioned issue?
(It isn't clear yet what the "IG map" that I'm planning to work on
will contain, but I tend to think that it should contain besides
positive information about the impact of various IG-related fora also
references to such criticism.)

Greetings,
Norbert
