"coordinate", meaning to<br>facilitate moves and works of many members of the caucus. The more people<br>involved in the actual work, the better.<br><br>For that, we like to suggest that our group to come up with the followings.<br>
<br>a) Strategy - for coming months, in the context of IGF mandate<br>extension debate/negotiations around UN<br><br>b) Work Plan - based on the strategy, we need to plan ahead
on how to<br>work - to push our agenda - this may include forming Working Groups,<br>ad hoc teams, use some additional online tools etc.<br><br>c) Outreach Plan/actions<br>One of the points we have discussed on the list was, if I may, the<br>
relative lack of outreach of our group, with larger Civil Society<br>groups. Compared with WSIS days, we have less involvement from larger<br>clouds of CS. How to address this and move forward.<br><br>We like to ask you to think about these points, come up with opinions,<br>
suggestions and plans, and eventually, or quickly move to actions based on<br>[rough] consensus with bottom-up ways.<br><br>We also like some of you to become active members, taking leading roles<br>for different items. Form working groups etc. To have wider division<br>
of labor of our work.<br><br>Of course, we are open to your suggestions and also welcome more
