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.</div>

<div>As you know Parminder, on a personal level, I agree with you.
But in the interests of putting out a consensus statement of the IGC
at large, perhaps it is best, as you suggest, that we just omit this
paragraph. How did you feel about the following one? -</div>

<div>A emerging model for this process is found in the "messages"

"recommendations" produced by national IGFs such IGF-D (Deutschland),

Can we preface it with<br>

explored, a emerging.....<br>
<br>
the reason is, I do not want us/ IGF to entirely forgo more detailed
and focused work on specific issues that could become non-binding
recommendatory reports, as happens at many U N forums/ bodies (for
instance many gender groups in the UN system produce such reports),
which may be more of a need to be addressed vis a vis policy vacuums at
the global level rather that feel-good satisfy-all kind of more or less
banal statements, as far as their use for policy work goes.<br>
