<br>
A couple of recommendations to suggest:<br>
<br>
Regarding reporting:<br>
<br>
Amend ECOSOC res 2007/8 to require the IGF Secretariat to submit
directly its respective report to the CSTD Secretariat, as it is the
case already explicitly for GAID. This will be in addition of what DESA
includes in its respective report, as GAID and IGF are part of DESA.<br>
</blockquote>
Agreed. Though it should not merely be a copy of the present kind of
report that goes to the DESA. IT should be substantive, laying out the
key public policy issues chosen were discussions, the outcomes, and
proposed follow ups. <br>

Another recommendation: A small, pertinent and high impact
recommendation from the WG on IGF improvement, although a little bit
out of topic, could be:<br>
<br>
- As CSTD is in charge of assisting ECOSOC with the system-wide
follow-up of WSIS, including the IGF, the CSTD and its Secretariat
should adopt - mutis mutandis - some of the effective practices of the
IGF and its Secretariat, like keeping its multistakeholderism, remote
participation and real time transcripts.<br>
</blockquote>
Sure. However, it would have been much easier if developed nations, as
well as private and technical sectors, had agreed to setting up a new
UN ECOSOC Commission on Information Society for WSIS follow up as was
suggested at the fag end of the WSIS. <br>
