[governance] CSTD WG Day 2 (3)

[Izumi AIZU]

After lunch break, we discussed the Point B - Working modality of IGF,
mainly around MAG.


Here are the text more less agreed so far. These are "rough consensus"
and not agreed to the precise wordings.

Then we are now discussing about the MAG selection process etc - based
on a working document submitted by business community.

The atmosphere is quite productive and friendly each other.
