Just for the record, Avri reacted to the Karklins "announcement"
of "talk and walk" decision on behalf of Internet Governance Caucus,
not as the eitire CS plenary.

It was also "outside" the Subcom A in a way since the Chair actually
once adjounred the meeting. We had requested the floor before, but
somehow it did not reach to the secretariat so that the Chair clsoed
the meeting. We felt we lost the opportunity.

BUT, thanks to Mr. Karklins, who accidentaly took the floor and
announced, we immediately flaged and the Chair kindly noticed
and allowed Avri to take the floor.

I spoke with the Chair, Ambasaddor Kahn right after, and he was
not too happy that we requested the floor after he adjourned the
meeting, to which I said that is because he allowed Mr. Karklins
to announce about our exclusion.

Anyway, I think we did a very timely intervention and the statement
itself was good, well-listened by many delegations. AND, I hope
that CS plenary will endorse the statement as a whole now.
