Jeanette,

I did not understand what would you mean by non-differentiating between 
"IGF as an open multistakeholder platform and IGC as a civil society 
advocacy organization". Are the two not very different kinds of 
institutions?

And our charter clearly poses IGC as a civil society advocate 
organisation. That is what we are supposed to be, if we are not very 
ably that at the moment.
