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></font></div>

style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><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></div>

style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><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></div>

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></div>

at the IGF can be used as inputs for global Internet policy making,
which will help make policy-making processes more participative and

face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">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></font></div>
