[Mmwg] IGF Input

[William Drake]

Hi,

The T&A issue has been debated at length in WGIG, the IG Caucus, and to some extent here, and is consistent with the ISOC position in the IGF consultations that "THE Internet community" should be recognized as a fourth stakeholder grouping.   Some of us have been strongly opposed to creating this fourth category, some thought it a good idea, others didn't care much either way.  Without digging through list archives I wouldn't venture to characterize the split between those positions, but it is fair to say that it's never been a point on which there's remotely been consensus.   Since peoples' positions probably haven't changed, we won't resolve it this weekend before providing an IGF input, and we don't have to, it's hardly central to Desai's questions.

Best,

Bill

  Sorry Avri and all. Should've been "Gov, Biz, CS and T&A".

  T&A is Technical and Academic.

  You're right about the priorities. We have enough on our hands now,

  did you mean biz and CS (PS is private sector usually understood as biz)
  and T&A is probably not the american T&A  :-)
  - do you mean the Internet technical and operational community and academics?


    Second question was about priority of themes to be discussed in Athens. Will we submit a prioritized list of themes ?




  is that a modalities question and thus one for this group?  or is that more of a governance caucus question?
