[governance] Feb IGF Open Consultation - Update #1

[Robert Guerra]

Good morning from Geneva!

Start of IGF Open consultation is today. Here's some headlines before I head out to the UN for the meeting:

- IGF website has been updated.
- Open consultation synthesis paper summarizing contributions is finally online bit.ly/AyrOR3
- Stakeholder requests for additional time (likely govts) - extends MAG nomination deadline until 24 February 2012
- The Seventh Annual IGF Meeting will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan. Dates being mentioned are in November.

Nov might prove to be a problem as Bakutel (18th Annual Azerbaijan International Telecommunications conference, 7-10Nov) is also taking place. Will Bakutel & IGF take place in the same venue at the same time? Question likely to be answered today.

- Next MAG meeting will take place in May, in Geneva. Exact dates unknown as still subject to scheduling. Likely will take place close to or during WSIS forum (action item follow-up) 14-18 May. http://groups.itu.int/Default.aspx?alias=groups.itu.int/wsis-forum2012

- Hashtag being used for aggregating IGF posts this week - #igf2012
- Chat space for interactive dialogue and communication - https://crypto.cat/?c=igf2012

CS briefing taking place at 9am.

More details later this morning.

regards

Robert
