There is a broad view about the need to continue evolving the Multistakeholder Internet Governance Ecosystem. The goals are to energize discussion and to achieve greater consensus of the community including a broader range of stakeholders to provide possible means for developing solutions to specific problems faced by governments/stakeholders. There are several ongoing initiatives trying to contribute with that objective. The meeting and related discussions will be an important milestone to support the developing multistakeholder consensus on important governance issues. It could serve as valuable inputs to other forums, seek for more clarification and pursue agreements for the way forward</font></p>
