[governance] Legal Status of National IGFs

[Devon Blake]

So is there a need to resolve the question of IGF as an event, or IGF as a
loose consortium, IGF as an international program with defined objectives
which includes the provision of the fora infrastructure for open dialogue.
But who analyses the dialogue, who provides a structured framework to the
deliberations, who acts on recommendations, and how are recommendations
developed?
Just asking.

Regards!

Devon
