I was reminded that ISOC includes organizational members who are business. So it is a multistakeholder group not a CS group.

My point on IGC and BB being essentially duplicates of each other stands, though. I waver on which I think is more appropriate , but I believe they cannot both be represented in any leadership committees, unless it is by one person.
