<DIV><SPAN class=699570418-24022006><FONT face="Book Antiqua">I don't see the
problem with respect to the chair's question. There are technical people
in each of the three societal sectors conventionally recognized in the UN and
beyond, and you don't have to create a new category catering to a
particular interest group in order to ensure that some technical
people get on a IGF boot-up team. There undoubtedly will be some, as
there has been in the past. Academics are in the non-profit sector,
aka CS, and they too have been included from the start. Nobody has
ever been excluded by anything other than their personal circumstances (e.g.
financial, time) or their disinterest in or distaste for a dialogue in the
UN context.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=699570418-24022006><FONT face="Book Antiqua">I'm supposed to be
crashing on a deadline rather than goofing off with email, so I can't go back
and revisit all the previous dialogues on this point, but you could certainly
look in the governance caucus archive and find some of them, presumably there
were some messages with correctly labeled subject lines.

<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>
