VS: [Mmwg] revised draft input

[Milton Mueller]

I support including the language on T&A, but recognize Bill's concerns. I think Bill fears stalking horses for ISOC and ICC, to be blunt. Recognizing that concern, I think it would be great to get a Paul Vixie or a Geoff Huston (both of whom turn various shades of red at any mention of my name, by the way, so don't think I'm trying to populate with it my friends) involved.

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".
 
Best
