think having ideas, information, opinion, analyses, definitions of issues
flowing from the centre out to the regional, country, local levels will be
relatively easy. The challenge and where the attention should be put IMHO is on
how to ensure that there is a useful, content rich, informed flow the other way.
And that this flow has a meaningful impact, that is from the local,
regional, country levels to the central "IG"/"IGF" focal
points.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

regional event I had an opportunity to attend (n Hong Kong) was extremely rich
in content and so on (although perhaps being a bit limited in geographical
coverage). There was a lot of very useful activity in including in
identifying and defining issues of relevance from an IG perspective but I gather
that the results from this were not as completely effective as they might have
been in flowing from that event into the IGF itself.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regarding this particular point on - <U>Capacity Building. Focus on
institutional capacity (governments, civil society organizations, rather than
on individual capacity</U>):</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Generally-speaking, this would be a good strategy since IMHO
institutional capacity building aims toward a long term level. If governments
can plan effectively, they can provide mechanisms for long-term partnerships
or networking within their regions. For instance, I am aware that in the
Philippines, CICT (Commission on Information and Communications Technology)
have "collaborated" with ASTI (Advances Science and Technology Institute
of the Phil.Department of Science and Technology), ISOC PH, and PREGINET
(National Research Education Network of the Philippines) <EM>Pilipinas (is the
Filipino word for "Philippines")</EM>. During last year's IGF 2010, there was
a regional IGF talk simultaneously during the IGF that PREGINET streamed.
There were supporting elements during the IGF so even in the next events all
related to IG issues, there is already a mechanism of a long term networking.
