[Imran Ahmed Shah]

Dear Izumi, 
Thank you for sharing the progress, Step by step. 

Its really a positive change and constructive discussion about IGF improvement.
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 from Developing Economies through open application program like the ICANN have Fellowship Application System.
2. Open and Online Discussion Forum at IGF Website like the DiploInternetGovernance have.
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.
4. Regarding IGF meeting outcomes, and the strengthen IGF secretariat, it is suggested that each IGF meeting specially and IGF secretariat in general, should release a declaration and report about the Internet Regulating Authorities if they adopt such policies that conflicting Internet Governance.

Thanking you and Best Regards
