should be and <STRONG>how it should be

<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV dir=ltr>"And a multistakeholder group, what people have different
ideas, A, on whether<BR> such a group is -- people want some time to think
whether such a group is<BR> necessary.<BR><BR> I think my sense is that a
very large number of people here do believe it is.<BR><BR> But, in fairness,
we have to give people time to react to that idea.<BR><BR> And second,
<STRONG>how it will be constituted</STRONG>, whether it will be constituted
as a<BR> single group, if so, how large, or whether it is constituted as
multiple<BR> groups.<BR><BR> So what I am proposing is that this is one of
the issues on which we need a<BR> response relatively quickly, which is, let
us say, ten -- about ten days from<BR> now."<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for consensus on the Technical/Academic
house, from what I read here, there hasn't been consensus on anything yet. We
couldn't even reach consensus on chairs until we voted.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Isn't having a T&A house a logical way

<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>
