So, what to do?  I don't think it would be out of place for the IGC to
write a letter to ISOC and/or to the Chair of the CSTD Working Group
pointing out the error.  Civil society has a valid role as watchdog to
play here, and furthermore constitutes a large part of the cross-cutting
constituency that ISOC is supposed to be representing.  I would be happy
to help draft a letter, if there was any chance that the Caucus could
reach a rough consensus to send it (which I'm unsure of).
