Dear Colleagues,

IGF Policy Options
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/policy-options-for-connection-the-next-billion>
and Best Practices <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/best-practice-forums>
are part of an effort this year for the IGF to develop more tangible
outputs, supporting broader tracks (e.g. SDGs, WSIS+10) while leveraging
the global network of IGFs that are held on all continents.

During last week's Open Consultations and MAG meeting, the IGF community
agreed on the draft skeleton of the "*/*/IGF Policy Options for
Connecting the Next Billion/*/*", available
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aogcq3iqzBRKTRSQlGAuSRvMi8c4rF1GgASoK5vhQbk/edit>here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aogcq3iqzBRKTRSQlGAuSRvMi8c4rF1GgASoK5vhQbk/edit>.
**

_*ASK*_: All interested stakeholders are invited to:

  * *Join the open-ended editorial group* formed to develop the document
    ahead of IGF Brazil by signing-up to this mailing list
    <http://mail.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/intersessional_2015_intgovforum.org>.

  * *Send additional background contributions* by using this form
    <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/policy-options-for-connection-the-next-billion/contributions>,
    or by writing to gutterman at un.org by 3 Oct. (contributions from
    national/regional IGFs and Best Practices Forums are welcome on an
    ongoing basis). They will feed into the next version of the document
    and will all appear with due attribution on the IGF website
    <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/policy-options-for-connection-the-next-billion/list-of-contributions>. 


*_Next steps:_*
The IGF Secretariat will be working in the coming weeks on editing the
introduction and developing the various sections of the skeleton on the
basis of contributions received. A new draft will be made available for
the consideration of the open-ended editorial group around 21 Sept.

Further information on the methodology and the timeline can be found
here
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/policy-options-for-connection-the-next-billion#about>.


Please disseminate this call for background contributions throughout
your networks.

Thank you and best regards,

Constance Bommelaer
