[governance] IGF Funding and Executive Coordinator Position Issue

[Fouad Bajwa]

I bumped into a govt participant of the IGF and during our discussions
we wandered into the issue of IGF Funding which to date stands on
cross roads as there hasn't been any funding made to the IGF support
fund by any govt or private sector or cs partner and much more stress
were the European funding commitments as was the case in the past.

This leads to the issue of hiring someone for the position of the
Executive Coordinator of the IGF Secretariat as it is a UN procedure
to first have the funding in place before advertising an executive
level position such the EC for IGF Secretariat. This would further go
down to supporting the activities and participation that were
supported by the IGF.

This is an important concern so far as it affects the sustainability
of the IGF. This might also be an important discussion point during
the open consultation and possible mag meeting this week.
