So we are not actually making a statement, we are words-mithing our
sign on to a statement, and adding a language requirement to our sign
on?

I have some issues with the following 2 bullet points:


"A strengthened Internet Governance Forum could play a role in the
future Internet governance arrangements to be discussed at the event,
and it should be linked with the CSTD WGEC process as appropriate."

Why would we as CS want to link a fully inclusive process (IGF) to a
non-inclusive process?

What kind of linkage and why?


"The event should extend beyond good will speeches or presentations of
good intentions and seek to produce actionable outputs."

Who would "action" these potential outputs and how?

I wouldn't want IGC to sign on to this before some clarity is given on
the above.
