>May I suggest some points for the discussion over there (if you also
agree):
>1. Travel Support to attend IGF meetings for the Internet Community

>ICANN have Fellowship Application System.

Ronald: Roughly how many of these? (As a benchmark ICANN supported nineteen
at Dakar, that's approximately one from every ten countries).

IAS:  The support in essential through a predefined open opportunity for
everyone, which is not available at this movement, One who want to attend
IGF meeting, has to seek travel support through local or global
organizations (asking to many organization Please Please ..... can you
support me to attend IGF meeting .....). The number of the supported
applicants is dependent to the importance is given to volunteers.  Is it not
better to have an online application submission mechanism to apply for the
support to participate in IGF Annual Meeting. 

>3. Increase the number of the membership (count) of MAG Members to have 
>at least two members from each Country, one from CS and one from 
>Internet Regulating Authority from the same Country.

Ronald: That makes the MAG begin to sound like an ITU summit with perhaps
400 attendees. That's a rather different animal from the current one. And
who will pay for all that travel?
IAS: again my point of view is not carried. I want to say that membership
(count) of MAG should be increase. And in order to resolve the issues that
are commonly discussed at the forum for dialogue (IGF) and the concern
raised by CS on behalf a common citizen (public/people or nation of a
country) should be addressed to resolve and in presence of regulating
authorities who give their arguments or otherwise satisfy their
people/public/citizen/CS. What is going on now a days, CS Representation
from Global is very limited at these Governance related Event, if the some
problem are raised (pointed out) at these forums, there is no one to listen
them to resolve. Its good debate to appreciate each other on these forums,
but there is no way to discuss the matters to resolve them. For example, if
someone approaches IGF Forum from Egypt claimed that Govt. has stopped their
Internet Broadband Access and closed the Cyber Café....arrested Google
Manager on creating a page on facebook.... please tell me that what one side
dialogue may have influence over the Internet controlling authorities, if
there representative is not sitting in the meeting?
