Given your well known enthusiasm for coining new terms and acronyms, I'd suggest you come up with something new rather than starting from one referring to a proposal that even its erstwhile chief proponent has disowned as "not well thought out."  http://news.dot-nxt.com/2012/03/10/india-drops-cirp-proposal  Why start out weighed down with the baggage of an intergovernmental body under ECOSOC and the GA (!) and try to figure out how to evolve it into multistakeholder mechanism, a process that'll leave all sides unhappy?  Who knows, with the right incentives, maybe someday the absence of better alternatives could lead us back to seriously considering an IGF that includes working groups capable of structured analysis and dialogue on frameworks (plural) of commitments where these could be useful.  

Best,

Bill
