[governance] CSTD WG Day 3 (1)

[Marilia Maciel]

We started to discuss funding but we have not been able to move forward
because many information has not been available to us. So we decided to
formulate questions that will be forwareded to DESA and CSTD:

 -       Invite DESA and the secretariat next meeting

-       Is it possible to receive funding from the UN (without excluding
the option from the trust fund) without going against the mandate set by
the Tunis Agenda OR Tunis Agenda gives a mandate to the SG (not to the UN)
to convene a forum. So this is not a regular program and can only be funded
extrabudgetary contribuins. Would funding through the regular budget
require a change of mandate.

-       Is it possible to make available important background documents:
trust fund requirements, pledge fund

-       Is it possible to make available for the members of this group the
information about the amount of donations given by donors and

-       If UN funds the IGF would it be under committee five approval?
Would it be vulnerable to 3% across-the-board cut is risk of entire budget
being denied if it goes to committee 5?
Best,
Marília
