I would suggest that perhaps this first one could be a even more
focussed on specific proposals for reform to existing processes and
mechanisms, rather than a general discussion of roles and
responsibilities in the abstract. Remembering also that this will
be a session in which we report back on the discussions that we have
already had as Best Bits. Hopefully we will have made enough
progress that we can be a bit more concrete in what we present at
the IGF workshop.<br>

Maybe replace this part with "This multi-stakeholder discussion will
present outputs from a civil society network, Best Bits, that has
brainstormed ideas for effective multi-stakeholder working
arrangements that allow different stakeholders, governments,
business and civil society, to take an appropriate role in the

<br>
Maybe add or replace as appropriate (I'm not wedded to the exact
wording, but you get the idea):<br>
<ul>
<li>Where are existing Internet governance arrangements failing,
and whom are they failing the most?</li>
<li>What improvements could be made to these arrangements without
setting the scene for an intergovernmental takeover of the
Internet?*</li>
<li>How could the suggestions of the Best Bits group be taken
forward (eg. as appropriate within within the CSTD Working
Group, the MAG, the General Assembly, etc)?<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>* I figure - no reason to beat about the bush, let's acknowledge
and confront this fear directly.<br>
