The post-Okinawa G8 Dotforce meeting I went to (in UK) was all about 
Development Issues (access, primarily).

What G8 has is "convening power", they can easily get a whole bunch of 
multinational CEOs to the table. The same is true of the World Economic 
Forum.

For whatever reason, the IGF is still has some way to go in this regard 
- although it got off to a reasonable start in Athens, the last couple 
of years I've seen a trend for the main sessions to rely on speakers who 
were "there anyway" (for workshops perhaps), rather than because they 
wanted to make a special trip to appear.
