<div>Dear Ginger and Ian,</div>
<div>Subsequently abouT IGf review, I beleive that IGF process is till necessary for a most of developping countries specially in africa. I am agree Ginger position in following sentences :<em><u>"The process of consultations should especially keep in mind constituencies that have lesser participation in IG issues at present, such as constituencies in developing countries including those of civil society. Other interested groups with lower participation in IG issues like women, ethnic minorities and disability groups should also be specifically approached."</u></em></div>
<div><em><u><br></u></em>Indeed on this level, it would be desirable to reinvolve actors who were and remain active in the process of IG in developing countries, more particularly in Africa. It will have to be recognized that many efforts is done in ICT applications but about 70% of the marginalized or disadvantaged population still do not have access to digital technology</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you resend the questionnaire ? I will share it to some colleagues in DR Congo and in Central Africa</div>

<div>Hi Ginger and Ian,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for your drawing attention to IGF Review for our next step. I would like to pass the following clarifications made by IGF secretariat today in the MAG list. </div>
<ul>
<li>The "formal consultations" will take place in Sharm El Sheikh. </li>
<li>They will be chaired by a senior UN official from UNHQ in New York. </li>
<li>These consultations will be prepared in an online process.</li>
<li>All stakeholders are encouraged to submit their comments, either by responding to the questionnaire we have posted or by sending in free form comments. </li>
<li>All contributions received will be summarized in a synthesis document that will be submitted in all six UN languages as an input into the consultations, so that participants have some 'food for thought' they can comment on. </li>
<li>Contributions received after 15 July will still be posted. </li>
<li>The preparatory process does not prejudge the consultations that will take place in Sharm. </li>
<li>The Secretary-General will make his recommendations "on the desirability of the continuation of the Forum" based on the consultations in Sharm, as stipulated by the Tunis agenda. </li></ul>
<div>As Ginger pointed out, as of today, we have a big task of how we can embrace the perspectives of those who are not participating in the IGF process as of today with many reasons.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Given the limited time, I am afraid whether it is possible to liaise those who are not in the process with the IGF review process if our voices are to be reflected in the Synthesis paper (15 July) for further discussion in Sharm El Sheikh. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope this clarifies your concerns in IGF Review!</div>
<div>YJ</div>

At the OC I read the IGC statement on Internet Rights and Principles, as well as the previous statement on the IGF Review process. Once the official summary is out, we can discuss more effectively, but I thank those who have already begun the Internet rights and principles discussion.<br>
<br>The other strong point of interest for the IGC, in my opinion is the evaluation of the IGF process. Nitin Desai stated quite clearly that there is not sufficient time to do an external evaluation of the IGF process, one point we made in our statement. The other point we made is that stakeholders not represented in the IGF itself must be consulted:<br>
<br>"The process of consultations should especially keep in mind constituencies that have lesser participation in IG issues at present, such as constituencies in developing countries including those of civil society. Other interested groups with lower participation in IG issues like women, ethnic minorities and disability groups should also be specifically approached."<br>
<br>Desai responded by commenting that we cannot ask for evaluation from people who are not familiar with the process.<br><br>At the moment, I did not have an answer to that: those of us who are involved have opportunities for input through statements, the questionnaire, the IGF forum, emails to the secretariat, even YouTube and Facebook. Those who follow the IGF enough to have an informed voice can use these tools as well, even if they were not present at the IGF.<br>
<br>So how would we in fact, assess the efficacy and impact of the IGF process on non-represented stakeholders? If we think these voices should be gathered, how could that be done? If we can come up with a way to do it, we should suggest it. For the moment, I am stymied. It seems to me that each of us must make sure we are representing our stakeholder groups. If we are serious about this request in the evaluation, I think we must come up with a possible mechanism.<br>
<br>Any thoughts? Best, Ginger<br><br>____________________________________________________________<br>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br> <a href="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org" target="_blank">governance@lists.cpsr.org</a><br>
