I agree with the considerations of Ralph.

In the way that I arrived late to this process, my prioritzations would be:

1. Capacity building oriented to use the TIC for the development (i.e.,
achieving MDG)
2. Bridging the Digital Divide: Financing; Access and Policies"
3. Multilingualism

Go ahead!

This does not by any means imply civil society should agree on two or 
three items and drop the others. The IGF website tells everybody who 
visits it:
"Please send us your top three choices giving a short explanation on the 
reasons for your choices to igf at unog.ch by 31 March 2006."

As I understand it, the MAG will have to do the selection in the end, or 
at least recommend one.

Of course it can help if CS entities come up with two to three issues. The 
Privacy and Security Working Group is currently in the process of doing 
this. This of course does not preclude others from submitting other themes.

The fact that the IGC is kind of a CS plenary for all aspects of IG should 
make it very difficult to agree on a selection or even ranking here, I
guess.

Best, Ralf
