no, this is not a 'methodology' issue, it is very substantive.

I am most surprised by your continued undermining of the very important 
issues of participation, accountability and transparency of events 
describing themselves as regional IGFs, calling them all kinds of names 
- methodological, logistical, administrative etc.... It is quite funny 
too, since this list has seldom done much more that stood up for 
multi-stakeholderism in IG. Why wouldn't you consider MSism a 
methodology/ admin/ logistical issue.

One is further disappointed, especially since you are a co-coordinator 
of the IGC, that you want this important discussion to be taken offline.

I am sure you would have read them, so can I ask you if you consider 
them good and sufficient guidelines. In my view, it is these IGF 
secretariat guidelines that you can safely call as methodological/ 
administrative/ logistical, rather than the substantive discussions on 
representativity, participation, transparency etc that I am seeking.

Parminder
