We have a lot of problem getting many of the premiere NGOs participating so that was my first priority in making the personal suggestion I made - I did not make it as a NCSG member.   Talking to academic too, was a further thought, but as I say, academics are different from NGO activists and have different concerns and modalities.

To organoze too much rivalry between different wings of CS is not helpful althougn some competition and  diversity is not bad.
