<span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Courier; color: rgb(31, 31, 31); ">Improvements in the IGF are an ongoing item within the IGF, and have been a topic within the public consultations and the MAG. The UN CSTD Working group [chartered by ECOSOC resolution 2010/2 ] is undertaking an examination of proposed improvements, based on a number of public consultations. A workshop on IGF improvements is useful as one of the workshops during the IGF 2011. We propose a roundtable workshop format that includes the full range of stakeholders to discuss a broad range of ideas and provide an opportunity to exchange perspectives on proposed improvements.</span></p>
