[governance] IGF Retreat: IGC to go or not?

[Chris Prince Udochukwu Njoku]

Hi, colleagues,

Parminder is in other words voting for CSCG's withdrawal, because these
process holders had often not relied only on CSCG for appointment of CS
reps. We need neither their statement nor a soothsayer to know this. They
many a time appointed some CS reps directly. IMO, some people among the
process holders would want CSCG out of the way and  we may not need to give
them the chance to satisfy that want. So, I think we should march on no
matter the odds. Maybe what we need is an adaptive feature (strategy) to
not only survive but also make the best out of the inevitable evil.

Regards,

CPU
