I think we need to propose ways beyond ensuring circulation of
information. We should ask for real policy related engagements, whereby
the IGF is able to give recs to these institutions in their area of
policy making competence, and these other institutions are encouraged
to bring policy issues on which they will like to have a larger debate/
dialogue to the IGF, and the IGF then reverts back on outcomes of the
discussion/ dialogue. I also read some such intention in the Tunis
Agenda para on IGF mandate.<br>

<div>You'll note that at the top of my email I claimed that I had
added new text to the answer to question 6 about this, but in fact I
had accidentally omitted it and the text was identical to the first
draft. Here is what I had intended to add, based on suggested text
from July, but you may have something better to contribute.</div>

<div>"In either case, such summaries transmitted from the IGF need
not take the form of recommendations (though in the rare event that a
rough consensus had been reached on a particular issue, there is no
reason why they couldn't take that form).</div>

Tunis Agenda expressly includes making recommendations among IGF's
tasks. I see no reason why we should say ' need not take the form of
recommendations' and make it look like a very unlikely possibility,
rather seeking clearer action to realise that part of IGF's mandate. <br>
<br>
Comments like the ones we propose to give, especially at hot moments of
actual policy/ resolution writing get first of all seen in their
general intent. What we are saying would basically be taken to mean
that the IGC is generally cynical vis a vis possibilities of
recommendations by the IGF. That is quite retrograde, in my view,
especially in an environment when today there seems to be somewhat more
openness to speak about possible recs, and how they can happen. I dont
think we should include the above text at all. Parminder<br>

<div>A emerging model for this process is found in the "messages" or
"recommendations" produced by national IGFs such IGF-D (Deutschland),
and regional IGFs such as the East African IGF and EURODIG. Ideally
this would become a two-way process in which the institutions addressed
could also turn to the IGF with issues they wished the IGF to address
through multi-stakeholder dialogue."</div>

from the next version, unless others wish to speak up with a compelling
counter-argument (Baudouin, perhaps? - that text was loosely based on
your comments).</div>
