<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear IGF Community Members, </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US">- </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US">You
may recall that the Working Group on Improvements to the IGF in its
report identified the development of tangible outcomes as a way for the
IGF to continue to perform successfully its intended role of addressing
issues related to public policy in a bottom-up, multistakeholder
fashion. The Working Group stated that "to focus discussions, the
preparation process of each IGF should formulate a set of policy
questions to be considered at the IGF, as part of the overall
discussion. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US">The results of the debates on these questions, with special
focus on public policy perspectives and aimed at capacity-building,
should be stated in the outcome documentation". "</span>The IGF
Secretariat and the MAG should reach out and continue to invite all
stakeholders to be more actively involved in the preparation of the IGF,
including by identifying pertinent key policy questions around which
main sessions for the IGF will be structured."</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US">This
recommendation provides an excellent opportunity for the IGF community
to engage in the process of shaping and formulating the questions that
will guide the discussions during the various main / focus sessions.
Therefore, the IGF Secretariat is inviting the community to share its
views on the type of public policy questions that could be addressed and
discussed at the 9th Annual Internet Governance Forum meeting’s
main/focus sessions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal">Each stakeholder is invited to submit no more than three (3) questions for each of the following sessions:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US">- Policies Enabling Access, Growth and Development on the Internet</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US">- Towards a Common Understanding of Network Neutrality</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US">- Evolution of Internet Governance Ecosystem and the Role of the IGF</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US">- IANA Functions: NTIA's Stewardship Transition and ICANN's Accountability Process</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US">- Taking Stock / Emerging Issues</span></p>
<p>Questions will be compiled and published by the Secretariat, and
provided to main session organisers as suggested discussion questions.
Please note that organisers of main / focus sessions may need to
synthesize and combine questions due to time constraints. Should a
contributed policy questions not make it into main session programming,
the IGF Secretariat reminds all interested stakeholders that questions
can be asked on the day in real-time. The deadline for submitting your
questions is 4 August 2014. Questions should be sent to <a href="mailto:discussion_questions@intgovforum.org">discussion_questions@intgovforum.org</a>. </p></div>
