<div dir="ltr">Actually the point about stable and predictable funding - and I would add to that, transparent and accountable financial management - seems just as important as (and closely linked to) the permanent mandate. <div>
<br></div><div>WF continues to advocate that a % of gTLD revenues be set aside for this purpose, as well as for other public benefit purposes, but if it is considered unwise to mix ICANN issues with IGF issues then perhaps it's enough just to reference the need for expanded, predictable funding that is transparently accounted for.<br>

(Individual governments support such a statement too but I am not sure it would be possible within the few days available to coordiante enough signatures by governments to make this an all inclusive statement.)<br>
><br>
> Right now, a multi-stakeholder statement coming out of this IGF is only an idea that needs further exploration within the respective groups. So, with this email to the bb list and the IGC list I am asking for your opinions to find out if such a cross-stakeholder statement would find support in civil society.<br>
