[governance] Provisional suggestion – on the structure of IGF (meeting)

[Izumi AIZU]

Here is another comment I plan to make later on the structure.

Some of CS members feel that IGF should not be an annual event ending
at the last day of its meeting – but rather a continuum process – and
we like to see some innovation in this regard.
We also have some thinking that IGF should become more outcome
oriented, in preserving its basic nature of forum on policy dialogue,
not policy making per se.

So what if we make good connection between workshops and main themes,
there are many good ideas for these we can see. But also how about
appointing or soliciting Working Groups who are perhaps selected or
endorsed by MAG, with open slots of volunteers, who will work AFTER
the IGF to produce outcome paper/document, say in 10 pages, on each of
major themes, to digest the discussions taken place during IGF
meetings, present major points of agreements, as well as divergent
views, and make suggestions where appropriate and where some kind of
consensus is recognized. There will be open comment period on the
draft Report, may have one more “wrap-up” meeting say 2 months after
IGF meeting.
