This is a very good initiative which poses some key questions that are
on my mind too.  I still regard myself as a relative newcomer to the
IGC, despite having joined in 2006, because when the IGC was first
formed a few years earlier, it served a much more operative purpose as
one of the thematic caucuses of the Civil Society Plenary at WSIS, with
a very important role in that overall process (including for example
successfully nominating all of the civil society candidates to the WGIG).

Today it is more of a discussion forum than a representative body, and
this raises the question of whether it should remain so (and perhaps it
should - due to the now even greater diversity of our members than
during WSIS), and the subsidiary question of whether in that case there
should be some other coordinating peak body for civil society activism
on Internet governance issues - as this is also arguably needed (like a
CSISAC or an EDRI, but global).

This is one of the topics to be addressed at Best Bits
http://igf-online.net/bestbits, which (again, I promise!) I will post an
update about to this list soon.  I hope as many IGC members as possible
will be able to attend.

Let me know if you need help putting your draft into our Limesurvey.
