MAG meeting summary report -Re: [governance] open consultations

[Parminder]

Hi All

Hope that comments by others and the official summary would have 
provided the details asked for by Ralf, Milton and others.

I am reminded of two other key developments that I did not report earlier.

1) The secretariat will invite workshop themes rather than workshop 
proposals this time. It has its advantages and disadvantages, though on 
the balance I am in favour of it. This will allow greater focus in the 
workshops by pulling together similar issues together into common 
workshops, and can also help the workshops being kept relatively more 
aligned to the key topics being otherwise discussed at the IGF. However 
this would not at all be easy to achieve as a process, which is still to 
be worked out. For one, there certainly will be a a larger role of the 
MAG now in the 'general workshops space' as well, while earlier it 
hardly did anything in this space.

2) Another very important development is that concerned dynamic 
coalition are likely to be associated from the very start with the 
development of round tables. This first time gives DCs an (important) 
official role in the IGF process. Significantly, this role is in an area 
which may soon become the most important and looked-forward-to part of 
the IGF.

The two above, I think, are important process innovations for the next 
IGF other than the very concept of round tables.

Thanks

Parminder
