The communion of different stakeholder groups coming together in Istanbul to work on the way forward is important. Also, imo, a message coming from the MAG, in a button-up fashion, would be in-line with the spirit of the IGF.

It seems this would be in line with the recommendations of the CSTD WG on Improvements to the IGF, i.e., to find ways to leverage the work of the IGF.
