Katitza, hi.

Just to be clear, I was referring to Anriette's email and suggestion 
that the CSTD working group on IGF improvements:

You mentioned there had been a letter from Mr. Sha, "extending an 
invitation to all present MAG members to continue their work until 
the conclusion of the 2011 IGF meeting in Nairobi."  But it doesn't 
seem extend the MAG's function beyond Nairobi, which is September. 
And Mr Sha hasn't replaced members who have left, quite a number from 
civil society. Even if there was a MAG in November, it would probably 
be lacking in civil society members so you guys remaining would be at 
a disadvantage (again) in discussions.

Best,

Adam
