I'm not going to pick favourites, but compare to the list of luminaries
whom we had on the WGIG:

http://www.wgig.org/members.html

Instead we have freedom of expression expert Frank la Rue (who is great,
but hasn't been much involved in this aspect of Internet governance),
Mitchell Baker who has been even less involved, and rock star Jimmy Wales.

And from amongst the other stakeholder groups we have Robert "Internet
freedom's foes" McDowell, plus Fadi and a bunch of his mates like Lynn
St Amour and Vint Cerf.

Trying to fix this panel would be a waste of time, just like trying to
fix 1net dialogue will be.  We are being led a merry chase.
