<pre wrap="">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".

I like this idea. But should the meeting not be about IGF improvement,
rather than about the CSTD working group? Workshops are good, but this
can be more neutral. And it can also be a good idea for us get broader
CS input.

I agree, it is a very good idea, and if focussed on the procedural
questions around the working group itself, it will also be an
excellent complement to our workshop. We should ask the IGF
Secretariat for a room and a timeslot now, before it is too late.
Izumi, as a working group member, would you have time to take the
lead on this?<br>
