<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The Internet Governance Caucus is of the
view that the IGF should continue beyond its first mandated period of five
years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>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></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>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></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>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></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Deliberations at the IGF can be used as
inputs for global Internet policy making, which will help make policy-making
processes more participative and democratic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We congratulate the IGF secretariat on
doing exemplary work in the last few years, However for this success to be
built on, the IGF should be assured stable and sufficient public funding to be
able to carry its functions effectively, and impartially in global public
interest. To this end we believe it is important that no other UN organization
gets involved in the IGF's management.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
