I tend to agree that we should consider these problems, and perhaps also
identify good ways to select civil society representatives, rather than
relying on someone else making good choices for us.

Also, seen from a WGIG perspective, I'm wondering whether the Alliance
would also continue the work of mapping and forwarding governance issues
to the different frameworks, ensuring that they meet the standards set
forth by WSIS. In fact, this is a significant part of the post-WSIS
monitoring process.
