Hi all,<br><br>Unfortunately I had to cancel my trip to India at the last minute, so I do not have the sense of the in situ participation this year. Glad to see the discussion about themes for the next edition of the IGF already started. <br>
<br>I agree with the ones expressing the need for the return to the focus on openness and that the issue should become more visible in th next IGF. <br><br>I also support the idea of exploring and discussing a right-based approach to internet governance and echo Natasha in relation to broadening the discussion on how to approach it strategically. <br>
<br>Best, <br><br>Valeria <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/12/11 BAUDOUIN SCHOMBE <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:b.schombe@gmail.com">b.schombe@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi all,<br>
<br>
thanks for this briefing . In my modeste experience and to be in africa
reality , I think three themes above can be maintened in topics:<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>
<br>
* Reaching the next billion;<br>
<br>
* Promoting cyber-security and trust;<br>
<br>
* Managing critical Internet resources;<br>
<br></div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
we had quite a good discussion at the caucus meeting in Hyderabad about
possible topics for the next IGF. Parminder proposed a 'rights based
approach to IG' as an over-arching theme for the next IGF.<br>
<br>
I think should continue this discussion on this list since it would be
good if we could come up with proposals for topics at the next public
consultation in Geneva in February 2009.<br>
<br>
I am not sure though if we should focus on the over-arching theme for
the next IGF. In case you don't remember, the overall theme for this
year's IGF was "Internet for all". My impression is that these
over-arching themes don't matter that much, not only because they tend
to be shallow but more so because the underlying topics are too diverse
to reflect in any meaningful way the overall topic.<br>
<br>
We should focus on the themes for the main session instead. For those who didn't follow closely, this year's themes were:<br>
<br>
* Reaching the next billion;<br>
<br>
* Promoting cyber-security and trust;<br>
<br>
* Managing critical Internet resources;<br>
<br>
* Taking stock and the way forward;<br>
<br>
* Emerging issues - the Internet of tomorrow<br>
<br>
I heard several people saying that access related topics (reaching the
next billion) need a break as there is nothing new to discuss next
year. Do others agree? What are other topics we want to see
discussed? In my view, critical Internet resources should stay on the
agenda.<br>
<br>
best, jeanette<br>
