[governance] Fwd: MAG and CSTD WG meetings

[Fouad Bajwa]

Hi Izumi,

I can be added to the list. I am still trying to find funds for
expense in Geneva as there continues to be no support for developing
region participants from throughout last year to current year. The
situation I have heard from elsewhere being, IGF possibly has limited
funds for its operations.......funds not coming in from donors, and
then the confusion everyone witnessed during the CSTD Improvements
meetings.

I would like to thank colleagues and friends that have helped me to
raise funds, support my accommodation as well as support expenses in
Geneva that enable me to continue participating in these meetings but
this both is challenging, very hard and continues to raise questions
as more people get confused with IGF's sustainability.

I read the similar challenges have been faced by our developing
country members participating in the CSTD.

But still, I will fly there, figuring out the rest of the parts of the visit.
