[governance] Re: Taking Stock and the Way Forward [IGF 2012 - MAG Consultations]

Mon Feb 27 13:59:17 EST 2012

"Internet Governance Regulatory Ecosystem" sounds better and captures what
I had in mind. This is a critical and key issue and whilst aspects of this
will be explored in IG4D as Adam pointed out, I still think this is
something that also falls in this space or thread.

This is critical especially in a season where countries are dealing with
global economic shocks and its subsequent impact and there is room to work
towards greater efficiency in engagement on a whole number of levels
(globally, regionally and internationally).

This is a vital platform that will enable greater cohesion and policy
coherence on critical issues. I am also mindful that this can help all
stakeholders to poise themselves to contributing efficiently and
strategically on any Internet Governance Issue.

There will also be room to see how we can come alongside other
organisations in terms of advocating on certain issues to lobby or
advocate. [Thinking out loud]
