Dear All, <br><br>The theme for IGF 2012 is Internet Governance for Sustainable Human, Economic and Social Development. The MAG has various groups dealing with the following:-<br>
<ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">consolidate the list of topics under the theme</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal">
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">come up with a coherent description of the theme </span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">come up with a main question and sub questions for
the theme (following the way it was organised in 2011)</span></li></ul>We would encourage anyone interested in putting forward views on Internet Governance for Development by responding to this thread. We would like to ensure that this opportunity for consultation is actively addressed by the list. We will try to wrap this up by the 24th February, 2012 and people can volunteer to work on consolidating the same by the 24th February, 2012 so it can be put to the entire list for a 48 hour period before we ask our current MAG representatives to take this forward.<br>
<br>Current list of topics that are being discussed by the MAG are as follows. I would strongly invite those in developing countries or emerging markets to contribute their thoughts etc.<br><br>
