[governance] CSTD WG on Enhanced Cooperation

[Keith Davidson]

I also would certainly expect CSTD to run this as an open meeting and 
trust Joy, Avri and others who understand the elements of 
multistakeholderism to encourage CSTD to be more open, transparent and 
accountable.

Cheers

Keith Davidson
