Can you clarify this please? AFAIK, the IGF is NOT a negotiating body.

Our output could be an "input" for discussion, but there is no process
or way to negotiate anything at the IGF (which has, after all, no
"authority" to compel anyone to behave in a certain way).

See you at the jacaranda tomorrow!
