<br>
The next Open Consultations and MAG meeting will take place on 14-16<br>
February 2012 at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. The objective of<br>
the meetings is to review the Nairobi meeting and incorporate the<br>
lessons learned from Nairobi into the start of the preparations for<br>
IGF 2012. The hope is to generate new ideas and make adjustments for<br>
the next IGF meeting.<br>
The dates and a call for written contributions is on the IGF Website<br>
<a href="http://www.intgovforum.org" target="_blank">http://www.intgovforum.org</a>. The deadline for submissions is 27 January<br>
2012. These comments will be put into a synthesis paper, which will<br>
act as an input into the February discussions.<br>
It would be prudent to start the process of collecting comments and<br>
devising the IGC review of the IGF and the possible way forward for<br>
future main session themes.<br>
<br>
As once again we will be stepping into the MAG relevance issue, we can<br>
continue to encourage an open to all format during the MAG meetings as<br>
similar to earlier this year.<br>
