FW: [governance] Re: Day 2 - CSTD IGF WG

[michael gurstein]

Thanks for the reply Izumi. 

I understand the constraints of participation in these events and perhaps
there was no expectation that the issue of funding would be re-opened in
this way (withdrawal of funding support to non-LDC reps) but perhaps we
could take this occasion to discuss and find some consensus on this most
important issue.  

We should also note that this is somewhat time sensitive since it may
influence decisions/individual judgements with respect to our "nominations"
for IGC participation on the new MAG.

First, I don't think seeking support for MAG participation is mutually
exclusive with support from NGOs, in reality, but as a matter of principle
we are trying to make a case the need for stable support.

We had no capacity to discuss this with the list, yes, but that does not
mean we did not want to. But, all five members from Civil society are
expected to act on their own behalf, and there is not rule that we have to
consult every proposal with IGC list, unless we make IGC statement. I hope
you understand this.

And welcome any comments anytime, I will do our best to accomodate them.
