A further complication is that a national/regional IGF might not 
completely free-standing.

In the UK, the "UK-IGF" consists of breakout workshops sessions at other 
events (such as Nominet's Policy Forum, and the "Parliament and 
Internet" conference).

While this is organisationally efficient, it's not clear if "National 
IGF rules" would have to apply to the whole day's proceedings, or just 
the breakout sessions! In particular, I don't think it's possible to 
register for just the breakout sessions, and due to venue size 
considerations, attendance at the full events above is always 
oversubscribed.

What we don't want is anything that would discourage the holding of the 
workshops at all.
