Here I disagree. While I see that it is much more difficult for CS to 
organize multi stakeholder workshops, I do think that IGF workshops 
should be different from, say, a CPSR conference. For me, the forum is 
the space where we cultivate multi stakeholder approaches, and this 
should show in the official format of its sections. (Side events can 
still be done in a different format, no problem with that.)
