Renata then says:

Exactly what the WEF will hear: What is the IGF, why be involved, why are t=
he outcomes of the IGF important.=20

As Parminder has previously pointed out, a great deal more than this is moo=
ted to occur.  As such, the above is not =96 yet =96 responsive.

Renata:

As a reminder: the MAG Chair is not representing Civil Society only.

Again, this does not address all the posts about "representation" and appro=
priate procedure.


More generally, tone can sometimes convey more even than text.

Put most gently:  The essence is to know, and convey by tone, that those in=
 responsible positions serve the constituency =96 not the other way around.=
  (Rather than dismissive 'proclamations,') a seeking for consensus, though=
tfully, gently, is the mark of actual, potentially respected leadership.

Hi=20

Parminder >>>From outreach action for IGF I normally understand MAG chair a=
nd members letting know other stakeholders, including perhaps at specific m=
eetings attended for this purpose, the nature of IGF, its deliberations, et=
c and encouraging wider participation from new groups...

Exactly what the WEF will hear: What is the IGF, why be involved, why are t=
he outcomes of the IGF important.=20

Not the 1st year a MAG Chair goes to WEF and other MAG members participate =
on it too.=20

Other MAG members have also participated in World Social Forum and other ve=
nues.=20

As a reminder: the MAG Chair is not representing Civil Society only. She ca=
me from the technical community but as MAG Chair outreaches to all stakehol=
ders to be involved in IGF, as there should be a balance of stakeholders pa=
rticipating.

On Chris question if this is an invite to MAG Chair only - yes and it is th=
e opening of a space to IGF. We should ask for more spaces for IGF and more=
 invites, more stakeholder dialogue and not less.

On Deirdre's suggestion of communicating with MAG Chair, it is a very valid=
 suggestion. The MAG list is open archives. Once an announcement is posted =
there, it is public, whether or not forwarded to other lists.=20

I am sure that Lynn would welcome your suggestions as IGF community and IGF=
 itself has a Taking Stock process announced on the 1st page receiving cont=
ributions until 11feb.

Best,

Renata
