VS: [Mmwg] revised draft input

[Wolfgang Kleinwächter]

Bill:
W's proposal for a special Advisory Committee of T&A is totally out of the blue and has never been discussed.  
 
Wolfgang:
This is not rrue. I advertised this idea already in Tunis and repeated in frequently in several mails. The idea was to get rid of the debate on a 4th stakeholder group. And indeed,, if I remember the discussion from the Chateau, it was the argument, that the nature of this group is different that the nature of stakeholders (neutral advisers, consultants vs. advocacy groups). 
 
Bill:
I for one would be strongly opposed to it. 
 
Wolfgang:
Why? I do not understand it. Academic advise to the IGF is one of our targets with regard to the Malta/Dresden process on a "Global Internet Governance Academic Research network".
