[governance] CSTD Working Group on IGF

[Jeremy Malcolm]

A open meeting of the CSTD was held at lunchtime today outlining the plans for its working group on the IGF.  It plans a WGIG-style multi-stakeholder working group supported by open consultations, to be established at the end of October, with its first meeting on 24 November.  I am not sure about (and may have missed) the procedure for selection of this group, and didn't have an opportunity to ask, because I had to leave for a workshop.

To fed into the group's deliberations, there will be a questionnaire on improvements to the IGF posted on the CSTD Web site in early October, and will close at the end of the month.  It will cover the format of the IGF meetings, the format of its outcomes, and the working methods of the IGF including its MAG, the Secretariat, and outreach to other IG organisations.  Obviously, we will contribute to this as a caucus, and may also do so individually.

A second physical meeting of the working group will be held in February, and its report will be completed and processed by March, for release and discussion at the CSTD's May meeting, ahead of the (anticipated) sixth Nairobi meeting of the IGF.
