[governance] IGF 2012 - CIR?

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Dear c.a.

I agree with you strongly on this. But keep in mind that this synthesis
paper only covers the Open Consultation.

At the MAG meeting sessions were discussed in far more detail, and I
think that Bill Drake might have mentioned WCIT 2012 as being very
important.
