[IGFmaglist] ***SPAM*** Inclusive Government participation is more important thant Remote participation

[Ilishebo Michael]

Dear ALL,

In the Multistakeholder framework, no idea from another stakeholder group
is wrong. We just have to find a common ground of achieving acceptable
results.

Both suggestions above are okay, only depends from which angle one looks at
them.
