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 ‘enhanced cooperation’ 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>

exploring the meaning and possibilities of the term enhanced cooperation,
including a discussion of the progress and results of the United Nations recent
request for reports on enhanced cooperation from selected global organizations.
“<br>
<br>
”There will be a focus on four questions: <br>
(1) what do different actors mean and understand by the term enhanced
cooperation? <br>
(2) what are your experiences with the state of enhanced cooperation in
Internet governance in your field? <br>
(3) What do you believe should be the direction of enhanced cooperation going
forward and your vision for the future? <br>
(4) what further steps are needed to create enhanced cooperation, if any?”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
