[governance] IGF plus IGC + only members list.

[Jeanette Hofmann]

Hi,

we've had this discussion about different lists countless times before. 
Fortunately, I think, there was never a majority for those who argued in 
favor of differentiating between IGF as an open multistakeholder 
platform and IGC as a civil society advocacy organization. It seems 
unlikely that a new discussion would lead to different results. 
Therefore, if possible, lets not indulge in this issue again.

My pragmatic suggestion would be to form informal and temporary 
subgroups for issues that need non-public coordination. The membership 
in such subgroups would be hand-picked and thus intransparent. Since 
statements on behalf of the IGC would still need voting, I don't see a 
problem with that.
