>
> As mentioned in the Tunis Agenda, the process of review should be centered
> on consultations with Forum (IGF) participants. These consultations should
> be both formal and informal. It will also be necessary to go beyond IGF
> participants to reach out to other interested stakeholders, who for
> different reasons may not attend the IGF meetings.
>
>
>
> The process of consultations should especially keep in mind constituencies
> that have lesser participation in IG issues at present, including
> constituencies in developing counties including those of civil society.
> Other groups with lower participation in IG issues like women, ethnic
> minorities and disability groups should also be especially reached out to.
>
>
>
> IGC believes that a structured analysis of the performance of IGF,
> accompanied by a suitable methodology for consultation, analysis, and
> stakeholder input. is important to the credibility and the usefulness of the
> IGF review. We suggest that either the MAG or a specially appointed
> represented multistakeholder group be tasked with overseeing the process and
> making recommendations based on this analysis.
>
>
>
> In order to demonstrate that the analysis is both objective and
> transparent, it should be conducted by a body or bodies that are independent
> from the IGF and its active stakeholders (including the United Nations). The
> process should be open and transparent. It is not advisable to rely solely
> on a pro bono evaluation, by any agency that offers it, for such a
> politically sensitive and important assessment.
>
>
>
> The selected experts should have adequate expertise in matter of global
> public policy and policy institutions. In view of the geo-political
> significance of IG, it may be useful to have a reputed public policy
> institution in the global South do the evaluation in partnership with one
> such institution from the North. There should be adequate balancing of
> perspectives, including global North/South perspectives, and partnerships
> are a good way to ensure it.
