[governance] IGF Cancelled

[Izumi AIZU]

I also agree with Kivuva.

While we are pessimistic about the organization of IGF in Bali, I think we
should wait for the "final" confirmation from both official Indonesian
Government and also IGF Secretariat. At MAG, we have not heard any formal
decision.

Of course, things look like in very bad shape, but there could be more
effort to raise funding and also reduce the cost so that we could still go
to Bali. The current yellow
light does not necessarily mean the final red in my view.

Which should not of course exclude the planning of the Plan B. However, the
very core of IGF, its multi-stakeholder dimension be kept as many also
point out. And I think we should still pursue face to face meeting, not
pure online at least at this stage.
