[governance] Questionnaire: IGF consultation, Geneva, 23-24 February 2009

[Adam Peake]

The IGF Secretariat have prepared a questionnaire 
to gather information for the February 
consultations.

15 questions in an online form <http://www.intgovforum.org/Q2008.php>

Questions below, but they should be completed 
online before 31 January 2009.  Two main themes 
for the consultation and the questionnaire:

* Taking stock of the Hyderabad Meeting and 
suggest improvements for the 2009 Meeting to be 
held in Sharm El Sheikh

* Preparing the IGF Review process

Usual style: what worked well/less well, about 
the new format and a question about how to 
conduct the review of the IGF at the Sharm El 
Sheikh meeting.

I think it would be very helpful to also send 
separate comments about themes, although such 
comments can also be included in what worked 
well/less well etc.

See <http://www.intgovforum.org/Q2008.php>, can't 
be sure the questions won't change.

(asked for email address, name and affiliation.)

Did the meeting meet your expectations?

What worked well?

What worked less well?

What did you think of the new format with main 
session panels and the open dialogue sessions?

Did the other workshops and other meetings you 
attended meet your expectations? Was there 
sufficient room for interaction with participants?

How did you see the linkages between the 
different types of meetings? Is there room for 
improvement?

Should all the different types of events be 
maintained on the programme of the fourth IGF 
meeting in Sharm El Sheikh?

Are there any other kind of meeting structures 
that you think would be useful to consider?

Did the 'IGF Village' meet your expectations? If 
not, what can be improved for the next IGF?

Was the discussion space in the 'IGF Village' useful?

The Secretariat prepared a synthesis paper as the 
official meeting input document The paper 
summarized all contributions received and was 
translated in all six UN languages. Was this 
paper useful? Should this practice be continued?

If you had one significant improvement to suggest 
for the next IGF, what would it be?

Other suggestions for improvement in view of the Sharm El Sheikh meeting?

Any other comments or suggestions?

The Tunis Agenda calls on the UN 
Secretary-General ³to examine the desirability of 
the continuation of the Forum, in consultation 
with Forum participants, within five years of its 
creation, and to make recommendations to the UN 
membership in the regard². This consultation will 
have to take place at the Sharm El Sheikh 
meeting. How should it be prepared?
