[governance] Inquiry for a new vision into the future of IGC

[Mawaki Chango]

Jeremy,

In your opinion (and in light of what you stated below), what should or
could be the role of IGC going forward, or do you see it rather dismantled?
And why do you think some CS players would "NEVER" join the IGC even if
there interested in the Internet governance policy? What would need to
change for them to join?

Thanks
