<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) strongly supports the continuation
of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) as a multi-stakeholder forum for the
discussion of Internet-related public policy issues. When, as we expect,
the forum's mandate is extended for a further term, there are a number of
adjustments that we believe should be taken into account, continuing the IGF's
pattern of incremental improvement since its inauguration in 2006.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>None of these suggestions would fundamentally alter the IGF as an
institution; for example, we are content that it remain formally convened
by the UN Secretary General, with an independent budget and a Secretariat
under contract with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social
Affairs (UNDESA). We do not see any benefit to the IGF in moving
underneath a different UN body such as the ITU.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>One question on which the IGC is in clear agreement is that the
composition of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) itself should be more
evenly divided between the stakeholder groups. Many also believe that the
stakeholders should have a more direct role in the selection of MAG members,
and that MAG discussions should continue to be made more transparent.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>One particular aspect of the IGF's operations in which the
participation of stakeholders could be improved is in setting the
substantive agenda of IGF meetings. We understand that the MAG might not
be rotated this year (though in our view the uncertainty about the IGF's future
need not preclude that). If a rotation does not take place, care must be
taken that this does not result in the programme for the Vilnius meeting
being prematurely set in stone. <s>[[The IGC is ready to make
innovative contributions to enhance the present
"Secretariat-MAG-Open Consultation" mechanism for the
preparation of IGF meetings.]]</s><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The IGF should also consider how to improve its orientation towards the
development of tangible outputs, even if these would amount to
"messages" rather than to recommendations, declarations or statements
(though many of our members would also support outputs of these stronger
kinds). Whatever form its outputs take, efforts should be taken to ensure
that they are transmitted to relevant external institutions through appropriate
mechanisms.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Similarly, attention must be given to the effectiveness of the IGF's
intersessional work program, which is currently limited to open consultations,
MAG meetings, dynamic coalition meetings, and loosely connected national
and regional meetings. In particular, there should be a better
mechanism than at present for these other groups and meetings to present their
outputs to the IGF as a whole. This would require the IGF to set more
stringent standards for such groups and meetings, including open membership,
democratic processes, and perhaps multi-stakeholder composition.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
