[governance] IGF retreat starts

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro]

I won't get into the mechanics save to say there was a call for comments
and input into the process.

I can assure you that civil society is on equal footing within the retreat
and we are being heard. Contributions that came in are on the IGF
website...we are working from 8.30am  (some of us earlier) till 10.30am
making sure nothing gets missed or falls within the cracks.

The retreat is organised in a manner that makes it easy and free-flowing to
have unfiltered discussions (Chatham house rules) and having the frank
conversations we find we have to find ways to work together across
Multistakeholder in spite of the differences. It is simply a creative and
brainstorming session. The reason for not sending a commentary is because
anything could be misinterpreted or taken out of context and so to remove
the danger of adding to the misapprehension it is best that we wait for the
completion of the matter which will be open for input from all.

I know it's difficult but you have to trust that civil society reps:

Anriette
Nnenna
Lea
Stuart
Sala
Kossi

are raising that which needs to be raised and if u feel heavily about any
agenda item on the website today feel free to send all 5 of us a note.
