I support Jeremy's point on two statements - particularly if the one
on a permanent mandate is multi-stakeholder.<br>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Hi - I agree with the
idea of a joint statement making the IGF permanent<br>
However, I would point out that yesterday at the Best Bits
meeting we agreed to make a statement saying more than just
that the IGF should be made permanent - we also were to
preparea a statement on other issues and a smaller group had
started notes on these during the meeting on the meeting

at lines 330-339 <br>
These still need more work - a small group volunteered to
work on developing these into a statement that would be sent
to this list for comment and a call for support (myself,
Dixie, Jeremy, Carolina - maybe one or two others?)<br>

<div>Support seemed almost unanimous for sending a statement on
the permanent mandate of the IGF, but I'm not sure whether
people realised they would be supporting a broader statement
covering other points (such as "concern at the number of new
processes", which seems contentious to me, although I personally
agree with it). Can we have two separate outputs? ie. I think
there would be value in issuing a consensus statement on the
renewal of the IGF, and putting the other paragraphs into an
optional sign-on statement if they are more contentious and
might detract from the unanimity of the message about extension
of the IGF.</div>
