Correct.  You are saying that ISOC sent 50 folks independent of Member
States delegations.

I am saying that is not the case.  There were a handful of ISOC staff
there, (unable to vote) and ~50 ISOC Members who were on delegations
of Member States.   There may have been a number of ISOC NG Leaders
there as well who were NOT part of any delegation.

You DO understand that most critical decision were made behind locked
doors, right?
