*On behalf of Frédéric Riehl, Chairperson of the Working Group on
improvements to the Internet Governance Forum (apologies if you have already
received this email before)*

Dear Sir or Madam,


As the Chair of the Working Group on improvements to the Internet Governance
Forum (IGF), I am pleased to send you a questionnaire drafted by the Working
Group at their first meeting which was held in Montreux, Switzerland on 25
and 26 February .

The Working Group on improvments to the IGF was set up pursuant to
resolution 2010/2 of the UN Economic and Social Council on the "Assessment
of the progress made in the implementation of and follow-up to the outcomes
of the World Summit on the Information Society". The Working Group was
tasked to ".. 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 Agenda" and to "make recommendations,
as appropriate, to the [Commission on Science and Technology for Development
(CSTD) ] at its fourteenth session in 2011, in a report that would
constitute an input from the Commission to the General Assembly, through the
Economic and Social Council, should the mandate of the Internet Governance
Forum be extended".

In line with its mandate, the Working Group has compiled the attached
questionnaire to collect the thoughts of all stakeholders on improvements to
the Internet Governance Forum. I would be grateful if you could send us your
thoughts, comments and points of view on the themes raised in the
questionnaire and to submit them in written form by email (
cstdwg-igf at unctad.org) by *14 March 2011*.

I thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the questionnaire.

Best regards,

Frédéric Riehl

Chairperson of the Working Group in improvments to the Internet Governance
Forum
Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD)
