[governance] more comments?

[Izumi AIZU]

Here is the text I prepared to bring in to the session, but as I mentioned
I have to leave shortly. If any of members here can say something from these,
either under IGC or on your own, that will be very much appreciated.

IF not, we will work on these more for the coming CSTD consultation in December.

----------

We request strongly to keep the Multi-stakeholder approach in all the
organizing works of the IGF, including MAG, Consultations and CSTD
working groups, attention to the balance of all stakeholders.

IGC would like to emphasize the importance of keeping the secretariat
function and working methodology achieved through the past five years
that have been the key to the success of IGF to date.

We strongly request that the new MAG/secretariat should keep the open
and inclusive approach. IGF should promote the participation from all
stakeholders from all different parts of the world, especially from
developing parts, pay sufficient attention to achieve gender balance,
involve youth, and not to give special privileges to any particular
group or stakeholders.

IGF should also give equal weight to all stakeholders when making
decisions – we mean to governments, civil society, private sector, and
technical and academic communities.

Again, we want to emphasize the importance of keeping all meetings and
the works open and transparent – full use of webcast and other online
tools in IGF meeting as well as all consultation meetings and MAG
meetings are essential.

We also request that IGF should ensure its independence from the
influence of financial donors in open, transparent manner.

For the composition of the new MAG, we request to foster:

- Transparency on the elections or selections of its members
- More proactive role on producing the summary of the IGF. We believe
it should not rest to the responsibility of the chair alone, same goes
true on identifying the main points discussed.
MAG should also map the points of divergence among stakeholders and
finally, if possible, we expect the new MAG to help identify points of
consensus in IGF discussions.
