Excellent contribution.<br><br>We discussed in the workshop about remote participation that took place in Vilnius that our achievements in terms of democratizing the process (remote participation is a good example) are built on fragile grounds. <br>
<br>There is no formal document that recognizes that remote participation and IGF hubs are an integral part of the IGF. The opportunity that CS was given to foster these bottom-up arrangenments is based on personal trust developed throughout the years with Markus. We need to make sure that these achievements are preserved by the next members of the Secretariat.<br>

I prepared the followings and read out now, after the coffee break.<br>
I did not attribute this to CS IGC, but hope you all agree.<br>

Additionally, since the questionnaire did not ask this directly – it<br>
is somewhere in between Q2 and Q3, I would like to mention the<br>
following and seek for your support as an formal input to the CSTD<br>
consultation.<br>
That is the question of what should be preserved and enhanced from the<br>
IGF works so far. In addition to what should be improved or added, as<br>
new mechanisms.<br>
<br>
I think that the success and achievements of innovative implementation<br>
of multi-stakeholder works of IGF in the traditional UN context which<br>
are not really easy I am sure, were very much driven by the Chair, Mr.<br>
Nitin Desai and also the secretariat team, headed by Mr. Markus<br>
Kummer. I think no one disagrees with this.<br>
<br>
We feel this should also be included in the report not for any<br>
diplomatic reasons per se, for certain practical reasons as well. In<br>
view of coming new Chair and Executive Secretariat as Nitin and Marks<br>
already indicated their retirement from IGF works, we like to identify<br>
elements of IGF to be carried on by the new team. Extensive use of<br>
online tools, webcast, audio and visual, transcripts, other tools for<br>
remote participation, are all important parts of IGF. Today, for<br>
example, we do not have remote participation, webcast which we had<br>
thought it’s there. Seating arrangements, registration practices are<br>
also all part of implementation for multi-stakeholder.<br>
<br>
I am sure that the new secretariat will be given opportunity to<br>
receive briefings from the existing team members before they leave so<br>
that all the experiences and skills will not be lost and we start over<br>
from scratch.<br>
As the language of the questionnaire, and also that of text of UN GA<br>
Resolution on IGF do not quite include the accomplishment of Nitin,<br>
Markus and his team, I think it is more than appropriate to recognize<br>
these.<br>
