style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>As suggested in our earlier
statement, CS IGC is of the opinion that the four general themes of access,
openness, diversity and security (with CIRs added in Rio) have served a useful
purpose in organizing the IGF meetings in its early formative stages, by which
we mean its first two meetings in Athens and Rio. We should now move on more
purposefully to the serious business of providing directions, ideas and
possibilities to global public policy making in the Internet arena, which is
the primary mandate of the IGF. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>We are of the opinion that
the above general themes of access, openness, diversity and security should
remain cross-cutting themes for overall organizing of the substantive aspects
of the IGF. However, the plenaries should address specific public policy issues
that are considered most important in the current global context. A series of
thematic workshops should also be organized around these plenaries, whose
output should feed into them. Adequate preparatory work should go into
preparing the plenaries and the connected workshops using dedicated working
groups. These WGs should also synthesize some outcome documents for each
plenary subject.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>Tunis Agenda speaks about
the need for enhanced cooperation for global Internet policy making. There are
different views about what exactly is meant by this term, and what processes
will/ can constitute enhanced cooperation. IGF is the right forum to deliberate
on the meaning and possibilities of this term, through wide participation of
all stakeholders in the multi-stakeholder spirit of the WSIS. It is quite
possible that such an open discussion pushes the process of EC forward, which
at present seems to be caught in a kind of a limbo, or at least some degree of
confusion. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
