Is it a real round table kind of forum where people get an opportunity to wiegh in substantially or just a 'mix and make connections' thing which corporates types may still love to do but not many civil society kinds may to be too eager about.

Kind of peoople who do not come over just to sit in the audience at the IGF. And when ministers come, their retinue of senior officials also come along, and that was supposed to fill in a (really) missing gap at the IG, especially in terms of governmental participation from developing countires. I will be cautious to see this meeting take a character and big role for itself, which could compromise the relatively participative nature of the IGF. Especially of concern is the declaration that comes from this meeting, which at present is the only real 'consumable' doc coming out the IGF environment. So, maybe civil socity may want to think around these issues as well.

It is a very good plan for the future, but not something that could
be accomplished easily in two weeks.
Where does that “two weeks” timeline come from?

I wouldn't want to rush it on account of what is probably a minimally important pre-event in Bali.
