<DIV><SPAN class=287305315-24022006><FONT face="Book Antiqua">The
T&A issue has been debated at length in WGIG, the IG Caucus, and to
some extent here, and <SPAN class=287305315-24022006><FONT
face="Book Antiqua">is consistent with the ISOC position in the IGF
consultations that "THE Internet community" should be recognized as a
fourth stakeholder grouping. </FONT></SPAN> 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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
