[governance] [bestbits] February 19-20 open consultation and MAG meeting

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I am more concerned about preparation time for the IGF.

With the world meeting in Brazil in April, most energy up to April will 
be focused on Brazil.  Then after Brazil, there will be  recuperation 
from Brazil, and we will have June and July for focusing the IGF - even 
less than we have for Brazil.

Beginning of September was already ridiculous in my view.  Perhaps they 
can look for a later date that is also cheap enough.

Who is planing this thing anyway?
