[governance] Comments on CSTD WG in IGF improvements, May 2011

[Katitza Rodriguez]

Dear Adam,

Thank you very much for raising this issue. Yes, I strongly agree that 
civil society MAG members are currently under represented, and will 
continue to be until those civil society slots in the MAGs are being 
filled out. This is something we have been working on. I will report 
about any advance we can do on this regards.

All the best,

Katitza
