[CCWG-ACCT] CCWG informal gathering at IGF

[Nigel Roberts]

Dear Co-Chairs

As a Participant I find this development highly irregular.

It is most exclusionary of participation for a number of both 
Participants and Members, I find.

Are such meetings permitted by the Charter?

Furthermore it will not be transparent, as absent staff support there 
will be no record, recording or transcription.

In any event, although I have not done such in the past, I feel strongly 
enough about this to formally raise my concerns to the Ombudsman, and 
trust he will be able to discuss this proposal with the WG in order 
mediate a position that may alleviate the serious concerns about the 
integrity of the process here.

I regret the necessity for this.
