[governance] need of a description for capacity building?

[Ken Lohento]

Dear all

Do you think it's still necessary to suggest capacity building and provide a
description for that theme?
I was about to do that (notably on behalf of the African Civil Society) but
when I read again the synthesis of written contributions (below) re-sent by
Robert Guerra, and since this theme is as an overarching theme (sic), I
suppose it will be chosen anyway?

Would appreciate to read your suggestions.

Best

Short synthesis of written contributions and discussions.
http://www.intgovforum.org/brief.htm


The questionnaire responses and the discussions during the consultations
indicated an emerging consensus that the activities of the IGF should
have an overall development orientation.  It was equally recognized that
capacity building should also be an overarching priority.  Capacity
building should enable meaningful participation in global Internet
policy development which includes both assistance to attend meetings and
training in the subject matter.

In addition to the overarching development and capacity building
priorities, a review of the questionnaire responses and the transcripts
of the consultations shows the following as the top ten most frequently
mentioned public policy issues:

   1. Spam
   2. Multilingualism
   3. Cybercrime
   4. Cybersecurity
   5. Privacy and Data Protection
   6. Freedom of Expression and Human Rights
   7. International Interconnection Costs
   8. Bridging the Digital Divide: Access and Policies
   9. Bridging the Digital Divide: Financing
  10. Rules for e-commerce, e-business and consumer protection.
