Dear All,
Finalisation of our work at IGF is meant excluding those who are unable to attend either physically or virtually.
That meeting should be considered totally informal.
Why one should be excluded even if he or she intensively contributed to the works of CCWG during the last 10 months

Good ideas often germinate in informal conversations such as that or those that will take place at IGF, whether or not there is a room set aside for such purposes.

If there is going to be formal work planned around a particular objective, that should follow all of our rules of engagement.
