<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi Marilia<br>
<br>
good point and thank you for the analysis. I see two ways how to proceed into 2012:<br>
<br>
1. we have to develop a more general position in form of a statement for the next CSTD meeting (probably in Fall 2011 and then again in May 2012) to ask for some clarifications and a greater sustainablity with regard to CS involvement in the WSIS follow up related activities of the CSTD. We should do this directly and via friendly governments.<br>
<br>
2. My understanding is that the CSTD proposal to enhance the mandate of the CSTD IGF Improvement Working Group" was acceptey by ECOSOC. We have five members in this group and they should get a clear mandate from the IGC to raise this issue both in informal discussions as well as in formal presentations.<br>
<br>
BTW, has anybody more information about the future of this WG? What I know is that Switzerland stepped down as chair. There was some speculation about Portugal as a new chair, but I heard also Philipines and Indonesia had signalled interest. There is no working plan for the group and the risk is high that the group will loose again a lot of time, playing around the chair position, doing nothing substantially and start its work only at the end of the year (after the 2nd commitee of the UNGA has finished its debates in New York end of November/early December).<br>
<br>
There is certainly an alternative opportunity to kick start the process by using the 6th IGF in Nairobi end of September 2011. I do not know whether some governments want to do this. However, if nothing is happening with the WG until end of August/early September 2011, CS could take the lead and to invite the governmental and non-governmental members of the WG for an informal meeting to discuss both procedural and substantial issues with regard to the future work of the WG. We could certainly get a room for 50 or so people for two or three hours on Day 3 or 4 and I am sure that more than 50 percent of group-members will come to Nairobi. We should announce this in advance and mark this as ad-hoc "Informal Multistakeholder Consultations (IMC) on the Future of the UN CSTD IGF Improvement Working Group".<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
