[governance] IGF plus IGC + only members list.

[Miguel Alcaine]

Dear All,

In my capacity of netizen, IGC has been very helpful to keep informed about
IG issues and discussions, even to contribute suggestions in my personal
capacity to the group and influence a little IG issues as an individual, and
always respecting different peoples,NGOs and entities positions.

For me, IGC is a very effective space of collaboration.

I differentiate permanently between me as a person and my role as
international civil servant as Ginger explained. I agree also with Avri,
regarding the effectiveness of the advocacy function conducted by more
focused groups, which may or may not in 100% agreement with IGC standpoints.

As Katitza said, is very difficult from a negotiations point of view, to go
to meeting having the others know your positions in advance. Nevertheless,
if IGC is on the side of the principles, its positions will be known anyway,
even in the absence of the list or the splitting of it.

I encourage you to keep the good work, in spite of the difficulties.

Best,

Miguel
