[governance] Our workshop proposal - "final call"

Fri Apr 20 05:26:45 EDT 2012

Izumi Hello, Hello all

Personally, I have no comment to make because the proposal is interesting. This
approach will also allow us to quickly assess the IGF process and the ins and
outs of the various initiatives in relation to this process.

This is a very good opportunity at this workshop we can have hot exchanges
on sectoral dynamics at national, subregional and regional levels. We need each
other to make us wait efficiently.

Let me also inform us that in October 2012 the DRC will host the XIV Summit of
the Francophonie. Would it not also a good opportunity that global civil
society is this? This means taking advantage of every opportunity for our
visibilty. This is a suggestion.

> Proposal for IGF Workshop
>
> Question 1: Title of proposed workshop.
> Quo Vadis IGF – or Evolution of IGF
>
> Question 2: Please provide a concise description of the proposed workshop.
> IGF is now in the second phase and “improvements” are mandated by the
> UN General Assembly. To fill this mandate, CSTD Working Group to the
> Improvement of the IGF was established in 2010 and tasked to publish
> its report by March 2011. The WG came up with the final report in
> March 2012. This report will be presented to the CSTD Session in May
> and further discussions are scheduled to take place at UN ECOSOC and
> General Assembly.
> This workshop will examine the substance of the CSTD WG Report and
> share different views by different actors on the IGF improvements and
> their implementations. It will discuss the following major issues:
> Shaping the Outcome of IGF Meetings, Working Modalities, and Funding
> among others.
> Though the basic nature of IGF as a non-binding forum has not been
> challenged, the WG Report proposes to enhance the impact of the IGF,
> with outcome documentation that includes messages that map out
> converging and diverging opinions on given questions clearly. On
> Funding, the WG could not reach full consensus: with Civil Society
> proposing more robust funding including the use of UN regular budget,
> while some others supported to stay with the current voluntary
> funding.
> How the actual “improved” IGF remain relevant will be the central
> focus of this workshop.

> Taking stock and Way Forward
> Question 3a:?
> Taking Stock and the Way Forward in general, but not to the specific
> main theme questions.
