<font face="Arial">Any research needs to be funded. The DiploFoundation
survey and report: IGF: Identifying the Impact is supported by a grant
from AT&T, with other partners including former hosts of the IGF.<br>
<br>
DiploFoundation has a long-standing reputation which we would not put
into question by producing or endorsing a project that is not sound. <br>
<br>
I suggest that you ensure that your input is taken into account by
participating in the survey, so that your voice is heard. The survey
can be completed at:<br>

<div>One thing is obvious. We do not so much need a "who are
you that I am talking to" we need a "who is paying you to talk to me".<br>

<div id="yiv2035982351"><font face="Arial">Michael and Jeremy,<br>
Thanks very much for your comments. This is a dilemma we faced in
formulating the questionnaire. <br>
<br>
I invite you all to make your comments of this or any other kind on the
survey in the last 3 open-ended questions.<br>
<br>
Your suggestions and additional comments are very valuable, and we will
take them into account. We appreciate your time in making any
observations or additional points.<br>
<br>
Thanks very much to everyone who participates in the survey!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Ginger<br>

should be seen in terms of how it has directly and indirectly
contributed to the creation of a basis for concensus, a language for
discussion, a (suitable) cadre of informed people to carry on the
discussion (it is here where I have my issues with the current IGF but
I won't go into those further at this point), the provision of a venue
for the undertaking of the discussions and so on and so on. None of
this is particularly "national" (in fact little of it is likely to be
national which is the point I think of transnational agencies) and
little of it is likely to be visible as concrete "impacts" (or even
outputs--which is what is currently being discussed in the form of
possible IGF "recommendations" etc.). <br>

I mostly agree. In my view the questions were too focussed on the
extent to which the IGF successfully facilitates discussion and
produces understanding on discrete policy issues such as freedom of
expression, access to knowledge, etc, and omits to consider
higher-level meta-discussion of Internet governance arrangements. <br>
