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>

<div>WF continues to advocate that a % of gTLD revenues be set
aside for this purpose, as well as for other public benefit
purposes, but if it is considered unwise to mix ICANN issues
with IGF issues then perhaps it's enough just to reference the
need for expanded, predictable funding that is transparently
accounted for.<br>

<div>"There is a need for a strengthened

It is suggested that these recommendations
will be</div>
<div>implemented by the end of 2015.
Improvements should include inter-alia:</div>
<div>a.Improved outcomes: Improvements can be
implemented including creative</div>
<div>ways of providing
outcomes/recommendations and the analysis of
policy options;</div>
<div>b.Extending the IGF mandate beyond
five-year terms;</div>
<div>c. Ensuring guaranteed stable and
predictable funding for the IGF, including</div>
<div>through a broadened donor base, is
essential;</div>
<div>d. The IGF should adopt mechanisms to
promote worldwide discussions</div>
<div>between meetings through intersessional
dialogues.</div>
<div>A strengthened IGF could better serve as
a platform for discussing both long</div>
<div>standing and emerging issues with a view
to contributing to the identification of</div>
<div>possible ways to address them."</div>

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>

for your opinions to find out if
such a cross-stakeholder statement
would find support in civil society.<br>
