[WSIS CS-Plenary] authors of issue papers

[Adam Peake]

I can see why you wouldn't name authors, the papers are the product 
of the WGIG, not the individuals, etc. etc.

But why does each paper seem to address "Governance mechanisms" yet 
the template for comments asks "Has the issue as it applies to the 
question of Internet Governance been adequately identified?"

You guys palming off the hard work to the free temp staff :-)

I know M Kummer has said you would leave discussion of defining 
Internet Governance until later (again, I can see sense in that, you 
would likely get bogged down in it), but I don't understand why you 
would describe Governance mechanisms yet then ask if the question of 
Internet Governance been adequately identified.

Federico also asked something similar.
