</div><div><br></div><div>Of course, all the points are very important, but I would like to specifically call your attention to point D, <u>broadening participation</u>, as I believe that goes into the heart of civil society concerns. It is a topic that impacts stakeholders from developed and developing countries, even more so after the economic crisis. Broadening participation means deepening legitimacy of the IGF and increasing the pool of ideas shared in the meeting, to the benefit of us all. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Particularly for developing countries, this topic is crucial. Looking at regional participation at the IGF on previous years (disregarding host country participants) we see astonishing low levels of physical attendance from Pacific, Africa and particularly from South America and the Caribbean. How can we address this? <u>Are the suggestions made on this draft report enough? Are they in tune with the real obstacles we all find to take part in the IGF process</u>? It would be great to hear your views.</div>

Dear list,<br>
In addition to the documents already online for CSTD IGF WG, there also is<br>
an additional document sent to the WG members a few days ago which<br>
is not yet online.<br>
<br>
Though close in substance, it is much easier to read and understand, and closer<br>
to the final report, in my view.<br>
<br>
So, under my own responsibility, I am sharing this document with IGC<br>
list members. Please understand that this is a work-in-progress<br>
document and my intention is to have better inputs from the list so<br>
that we can work more productively next week.<br>
<br>
All the words here is sort of in square bracket, tentative, until everything<br>
is agreed.<br>
<br>
izumi<br>
