I broadly agree, this strikes me as the kind of do-nothing theme that the ITU would come up with, and I would like us to show that the IGF is no longer willing to be a do-nothing institution.  It's do or die time for the IGF and we, of all stakeholders groups, need to make sure that the theme is focussed on actual IG problems, and the lack of meaningful participation of all stakeholders in IG processes is one of them.  This will make a good contrast with the banality and backward-lookingness (lookingness?) of the ITU's draft Opinions for the WTPF.

(IG = Internet governance, ITU = International Telecommunications Union, WTPF = World Telecommunications Policy Forum)
