a further five years, and in this regard, invites the
Secretary-General to continue with the convening of the Internet
Governance Forum for a multi-stakeholder policy dialogue on Internet
governance issues according to its mandate as set out in paragraph 72
of the Tunis Agenda for the Information Society,12 while recognizing

the broader dialogue on global internet governance;

 18. Welcomes the decision by ECOSOC in paragraph 30 of E/2010/2 to
invite the Chair of the Commission on Science and Technology for
Development to establish, in an open and inclusive manner, a working
group which would seek, compile and review inputs from all Member
States and all other stakeholders on improvements to the Internet
Governance Forum, in line with the mandate set out in the Tunis
Agenda13, and which would submit a report to the Commission at its
fourteenth session, in 2011, with recommendations, as appropriate,
that would constitute an input by the Commission to the General
Assembly, through the Economic and Social Council;

 19. Stresses that the consideration of IGF improvements should be
based on the inputs to be provided to the working group by all Member
States and all other stakeholders, including those comments received
during the online consultation and the consultation undertaken by the
Under Secretary General in the fourth meeting of the IGF held in Sharm
El-Sheikh, Egypt in November 2009 with particular consideration of,
inter
alia, enhancing participation from developing countries, exploring
further voluntary options for IGF financing and improving the
preparation process modalities, and the work and the functioning of
the Secretariat;

issues pertaining to the Internet, but not of the day-to-day technical
and operational matters that do not impact upon those issues, through
balanced participation of all stakeholders, especially developing
countries, in their respective roles and responsibilities, as stated
