Yes.  Consumers International offered to put together a workshop on broadband with them.  The response, "We tend also to only partner with existing members of the Broadband Commission, which makes a joint initiative here hard to justify/coordinate."

On that note, if anyone else is interested to co-sponsor a workshop on consumer protection issues around broadband, with CI and the LINK Centre, contact me offlist and I'll send you the link.
