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

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Greetings all.. end of another frustrating day from the remote
participation point of view.. although better than yesterday.

Thanks to Izumi for frequent updates on Skype, and also to the technical
community participants in the group who are tweeting quite actively.

In general the spirit of the day was more constructive but overall it
feels as if reluctance to make recommendations that will require
work/effort/money/process changes prevails.

Chengetai presented IGF finances very clearly which was helpful.

One back issue that impacted on the discussion of finances is the role
of the MAG, and whether it should have any oversight responsibilities or
not.

Tomorrow they will discuss funding and finance further and aim to agree
on text.
