That is why you have coordinators/liaisons that facilitate the job of the community with their representatives at certain meetings.

What I meant is that is that i beleive it is up to IGC named participants to make sure that the consensus contained as much as possible from the the CS point of view.  Which coordinators do you mea - the IGC coordinators?  they have little to no voice in the MAG.  The MAG's consensus is created by the IGC's members and others agreeing with each pother.


And yes it is a lot of work.  I figure that goes along with the honor of be one of the select few.

I don't think I understand this comment.

Which public authorities?

When have you seen hundreds of signatures on anyone in the IGF's positions.  I think the IGC's positions come with a higher degree of agreement than many or most other positions that are put forward in the IGF.  I expect most other positions are written by the policy director of the group and vetted by some executive council somewhere.  Whereas most of the IGC positions have been subjected to a vote of the membership of however many we have.
