[governance] CSTD Q8- Inclusiveness and participation

[Marilia Maciel]

* **Inclusiveness of the IGF process and of participation at the IGF
meetings (in particular with regard to stakeholders from developing
countries)*


-          Capacity Building. Focus on institutional capacity (governments,
civil society organizations, rather than on individual capacity)

-          Outreach strategy. Include in the IGF processes groups that have
not yet been included, from  civil society, small and medium sized
companies, decision-makers and parliamentarians

-          Roadmap to identify key-players in each region that need to be
inclued

-          Develop ways to understand the real barriers for participation



-          Funding to developing countries (specially to developing country
policy makers?), taking into account clear criteria (for instance, age,
gender and whether a particular group works with the marginalize people we
want to bring to the IGF process).

-          Open opportunity to apply for funding. Transparency and timely
decisions regarding the funding



-          Remote attendance

o   In all IGF meetings, MAG meetings and open consultations webcast,
recording and captioning should be available, as well as options for remote
participation

o   Remote participation should be formally recognized as an integral part
of the IGF. Resources to put in place remote participation should be
provided

o   Tools and techniques should be used to enhance remote participation,
giving participants the opportunity to effectively influence agenda-setting
and IGF debates. Remote participation in IGF process as a whole

o   The participation of remote speakers should be encouraged
