<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>As mentioned in the Tunis Agenda, the
process of review should be centered on consultations with Forum (IGF)
participants. These consultations should be both formal and informal. It will
also be necessary to go beyond IGF participants to reach out to other
interested stakeholders, who for different reasons may not attend the IGF
meetings.<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>The process of consultations should
especially keep in mind constituencies that have lesser participation in IG
issues at present, including constituencies in developing counties including
those of civil society. Other groups with lower participation in IG issues like
women, ethnic minorities and disability groups should also be especially
reached out to.<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>IGC believes that a structured analysis of
the performance of IGF, accompanied by a suitable methodology for consultation,
analysis, and stakeholder input. is important to the credibility and the
usefulness of the IGF review. We suggest that either the MAG or a specially
appointed represented multistakeholder group be tasked with overseeing the
process and making recommendations based on this analysis.<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>In order to demonstrate that the analysis
is both objective and transparent, it should be conducted by a body or bodies
that are independent from the IGF and its active stakeholders (including the
United Nations). The process should be open and transparent. It is not
advisable to rely solely on a pro bono evaluation, by any agency that offers
it, for such a politically sensitive and important assessment.<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>The selected experts should have adequate
expertise in matter of global public policy and policy institutions. In view of
the geo-political significance of IG, it may be useful to have a reputed public
policy institution in the global South do the evaluation in partnership with
one such institution from the North. There should be adequate balancing of perspectives,
including global North/South perspectives, and partnerships are a good way to
ensure it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
