      It should be accompanied with the UN providing permanent
      institutional funding for it.  Nothing can be permanent and stable
      without clear and stable source of funding.<br>
      <br>
      BTW, the IGF is right now a 'project' of UNDESA, and projects
      normally are not permanent. For being permanent it has to be an
      incorporated body with institutional funding. <br>
      <br>
      Anne, in the CSTD WG on IGF improvements,  IT for Change and some
      developing country asked for a part of domain names tax collected
      by ICANN to be dedicated to IGF funding. This has to be done in a
      statutory/ constitutional manner and not as ad hoc, upto ICANN,
      measure.<br>

                                    > Hi all,<br>
                                    ><br>
                                    > at the BB meeting yesterday we
                                    discussed the idea of a BB statement
                                    that would ask the UN to make the
                                    IGF a permanent body instead of 
                                    renewing its mandate for another
                                    limited term of 5 or 10 years.<br>
                                    > This idea found broad support
                                    among the attendees of the BB
                                    meeting.<br>
                                    ><br>
                                    > Later on I discussed the
                                    content of such a statement with
                                    other stakeholders at the IGF and I
                                    got the impression that we might be
                                    able to draft a cross-stakeholder
                                    statement together with the
                                    technical community and the private
                                    sector. (Individual governments
                                    support such a statement too but I
                                    am not sure it would be possible
                                    within the few days available to
                                    coordiante enough signatures by
                                    governments to make this an all
                                    inclusive statement.)<br>
                                    ><br>
                                    > Right now, a multi-stakeholder
                                    statement coming out of this IGF is
                                    only an idea that needs further
                                    exploration within the respective
                                    groups. So, with this email to the
                                    bb list and the IGC list I am asking
                                    for your opinions to find out if
                                    such a cross-stakeholder statement
                                    would find support in civil society.<br>
                                    ><br>
                                    > jeanette<br>
                                    ><br>
                                    > P.S. Lately, I have been unable
                                    to post to the IGC list. If this
                                    email does not appear on the IGC
                                    list, would someone be so kind to
                                    forward it?<br>
