i both agree and don't (what else is new?)

it did offshoot from IGC, but was designed as open to all.

personally i see the charter as saying as a group everyone is welcome  
in as long as they are interested in the working on the problem - no  
credentials are checked at the door. but i think we should only  
recruit among those who be helpful to figuring things out and getting  
work done, and not just for the sake of being more  
multistakeholderish per se.  not that i have any opinions about the  
degree of usefulness or wonderfulness of any of the people we are  
thinking of recruiting.

and yes, the 28 of Feb is soon.
