[bestbits] IGF open consultation and MAG meeting December 2014

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

This is making me wonder if we should not start a platform to record all
the recommendations related to IG that we make?

Want to compile the African ones Kenyanito :) ?

E.g. we have now had recommendations coming out of 3 African IGFs, not
to mention subregional ones.

I wonder if the IGF would not want to create such a space? The current
site already provides a space for all contributions into open consultations:
