<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think that this statement should include a clear

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">There are two clear, and relatively distinct, mandates
of the IGF - first, regarding public policy functions, as a forum for
multistakeholder policy dialogue, and second, regarding capacity building.
Both aspects of the IGF's role need to be
strengthened.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Especially, one role (for instance, capacity building)
should not be promoted to the exclusion of the other (policy related role). If
the IGF is assessed not to be sufficiently contributing to its one or the
other principal roles, adequate measures should be considered to improve its
effectivenesses vis-a-vis that role. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">It is important that IGF remains open to addressing
all issues that are in the IG space, no matter how controversial. Very likely,
the more controversial an issue, the more appropriate it may be to bring it to
the IGF where inputs from a diverse range of stakeholders can be
sought.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
