Someone who wasn't at the session asked me what I was referring to.
I can see that, without the context, it be baffling.
I hope this clarifies what I meant.
I am very grateful to that someone (you know who you are!) for asking me to
explain.

Ignacio Castro spoke in the Co-operation WG session about bridging the gap
between
Internet stakeholders, and explained that our processes, in RIPE and in the
IETF,
may well be open, but are, however, not very accessible to the un-initiated.
The main thing which I took away from Ignacio's presentation was the
imperative to create connections between key individuals on either side
of the "comprehension gap" (my phrase), so as to facilitate reciprocal
awareness between different stakeholder communities, such as between
the technical community and government.
In the same session, Romain Bosc, who is the RIPE NCC's new "Brussels agent",
and Innocenzo Genna, who is EU Advisor for Namex, spoke about EU regulatory
developments, respectively in general and with specific focus on the Digital
Network Act.
What I wanted to say in my earlier message was, that Romain and Innocenzo
seem particularly well placed to set up contacts between people on either
side of the "comprehension gap", so promoting constructive dialogue, and
that we should encourage them to do so.
I hope this helps.
Niall
