To add, if they know of anything about how CS invites for today's high 
level meeting were arranged. My colleague Anita and I wrote to the 
meeting organisers, as well as CS rep  on Bali IGF organising committee 
and never got  any response. And I learn that many people got invites 
without having applied for (as was asked for by the CS rep on Bali 
organising committee).

I think CS is losing its grip on openness and transparency and CS's 
self- organised representativity in the processes around the IGF. We are 
much worse off today on these issues then we were a few years back. If 
some thing happens with a gov organised event (well, basically only UN 
related ones since we did not speak out against Northern countries hand 
picking CS persons for Seoul Cyber Conference either)  , we are realy 
quite vociferous, but if some kind of multistakeholder governance is 
involved everything seems to be fair game.

That I see as  one of the greatest dangers of MSism - its refusal to 
examine itself and be accountable, and if anyone but raises a issue that 
person is labelled as against MSism .

Anyone willing to take this issue up?
