A possible answer could be fo instance to have some statistics about 
the attendance from developing countries civil society
where the cost of such traveling is hardly supported by universities 
of Civil Socity Organizations without
some type of international mechanism (which did occur more frequently 
during the WSIS and tend to
disappear now leaving a potential balance problem which should be tracked).
Another possible answer could be linked to linguistic diversity.

It is indeed a good practice for any international meeting to have at 
hand statistics on different factors
which need to be tracked (geographical presence, gender presence...etc).
Dont you agree that equitable balance in some key factors is a 
worthwile objective?
