I am taking about the usefulness of the IGF by its re-organization, providing them permanent staff and directors and functional workgroups who must define the mechanism to the implementation of the Policies, Ethics, Good Governances, about the Internet at global level. Which Policies? Good Governance? or Ethics? Principles? Ideology? Concern? . . . . that you discuss during one to one MAG meetings or at discussion forums like IGC. Experts will not only be acting as an advisory source for UN but will also be able to advise / guide Governments and Nations.
 
I would appreciate if you can propose the methodologies to increase the usefulness of the IGF and to extend its circle.

I agree with your point to make the members functional (by giving them relative responsibilities and authorities). 
Thanks
 
Imran Ahmed Shah

I don't think the MAG meeting on the third day will be open.

As for the notion of a multi-structured MAG, this would clearly reintroduce silos in one of the rare structures that function in a collegial way. 

Using constituencies for the selection of MAG members is one thing and some thinking can be given to this, in order to reduce the importance of the "black box". But once people are designated/nominated, isn't it better to have them function as a single group ?

Best

Bertrand
