I hesitate to send this draft forward, but I want to use it as an example of what I learned, as I tried to streamline and edit.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I found it very difficult to explain what we wanted, without waving so many scary flags -- we will post everything you say publicly.</div>
<div>To anyone employed by an NGO or a foundation, that reads: please consult your legal counsel so you know what you can share with us.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We can have Chatham House rules, perhaps? Aggregate all inputs as we do at the IGF consultations, without noting who said what, but including a list of who posted comments?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think we are over thinking this and over doing it. We want to listen to some informal and non binding information that informs this group.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can we reconsider how legalistic we need to be to just "learn". </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I did make extensive edits, but I just think we are headed in a direction that is too restrictive and too legalistic. I wish I had thought of this earlier but it was when I started applying this to my own experience as an NGO Board member for a small
NGO, that I started thinking about how this will be received.</div>
