[Mmwg] Re: IGF Input

[Robert Guerra]

David:


I've been a long proponent of outreach to broaden the CS involved in the
discussions (individuals, organizations, academic centres, etc..).
Bringing new voices allows for a richer discussion, however it does some
coordination and good moderation for contributions to be prepared on
time for specific deadlines.


That begs the question - what is the exact scope and focus of this
working group. Is it CS only, if so then we shouldn't call this a
multi-stakeholder group.

If in fact the MM in the list name represents "Multi-stakeholder
modalidies", then I think indeed we should reach out and invite  the
other stakeholders to this list.

Until this gets settled, i'll wait and not yet contact the private
sector and govt representatives I was going to invite to the list.


A reminder - we have until this weekend to contribute points and/or
specific comments to meet the comment deadline set by Desai last week.
let's make sure NOT to miss that deadline...


regards

Robert
