    <br>
    So, the use of "I/ IGF has been invited" was incorrect.... There is
    no invitation to the IGF....... <br>
    <br>
    She could also clarify what she meant by "two way collaboration
    between the WEF and IGF" as mentioned in the previous email.....
    Could this important clarification also be got. thanks... parmider <br>

                              </p>
                              <p>From outreach action for IGF I normally
                                understand MAG chair and members letting
                                know other stakeholders, including
                                perhaps at specific meetings attended
                                for this purpose, the nature of IGF, its
                                deliberations, etc and encouraging wider
                                participation from new groups...<br>
                              </p>
                              <p>I do not understand from IGF outreach,
                                from what I understand about the IGF,
                                for MAG chair to go to policy or related
                                forums, representing IGF, and speaking
                                on substantive policy issues, which one
                                cannot do without giving specific views.
                                However, if this is your view of IGF
                                outreach as a MAG member, I will like to
                                discuss, and contest, it. <br>
                              </p>
                              <p>As you would notice from the email from
                                MAG chair, she mentions about speaking,
                                by all indications as IGF MAG chair, and
                                representing the IGF, at substantive
                                sessions, and indeed chairing
                                co-chairing an WEF initiative....
                                Further, i see mention of "two
                                collaboration between the WEG and IGF's
                                major policy initiatives ".... I had no
                                idea any such collaboration existed. Can
                                MAG members confirm it....<br>
                              </p>
                              <p>Also, pl confirm if these are
                                considered IGF outreach activities, and
                                legitimate roles for the IGF and some
                                people representing them. I request a
                                clear response.<br>
                              </p>
                              <p>And who funds participation and other
                                aspects of these activities, the IGF, (
                                i know that is very unlikely) , private
                                funds of the involved people, or the WEF
                                BECAUSE it is the IGF, and co-branding
                                helps? Again, please provide this
                                specific information.<br>
                              </p>
                              <p>Lastly, has the IGF and its MAG ever
                                considered doing outreach to, say, the
                                World Social Forum, the WEF equivalent
                                civil society space, or these outreaches
                                are only for the big business
                                venues.... <br>
