"The mandate of the Forum is to: ...

(b) Facilitate discourse between bodies dealing with different
cross-cutting international public policies regarding the Internet and
discuss issues that do not fall within the scope of any existing body. ...

(c) Interface with appropriate intergovernmental organizations and other
institutions on matters under their purview. ...

(g) Identify emerging issues, bring them to the attention of the
relevant bodies and the general public, and, where appropriate, make
recommendations."
