Marilia, I would encourage you to put the text of the WG on the website to
create and generate discussion using:
http://www.igcaucus.org/node/add/statement You can then alert the list that
you have placed the Statement there and invite feedback.

I also sent a separate email to the list in relation to evaluation of our
functionality with respect to the Charter.

There was a suggestion made by Avri to the Coordinators which we discussed
where an etherpad be available within the website to encourage
consultations. Jeremy has enabled this mechanism and we have yet to test
it. I invite you Marilia to discuss offline with Jeremy how you can
generate feedback on the text created by the working Group.

The development of Internet Governance Principles was also something that
was discussed by the Coordinators on the 30th January 2012. We were
exploring the concept of bottom up development of these principles and
looking for volunteers from the list who are involved within the various
regional and national internet governance forums to dedicate one hour slots
in their regional or national IGFs to generate discussion and put together
what they think should be Internet Governance principles.
