I thought I have also sent to the governance list, but it was not
sent, hence forwarding.

I also plan to ask MAG to consider this issue for coming regional and
national IGFs.

The argument between Parminder and APrIGF organizers is, in my view,
not caused by us, per se, but rather, due to absence of pre-defined
standard. So I think we better bring this forward, not backward.

I like to say, that there were active civil society participation to
APrIGF this year, and also youth.
Of course, that does not mean there is no room to improve.

I also asked the APrIGF secretariat to make more information available
about the organizers etc. After recovering the workload, I hope they
will follow up.

Hi,

There is an open mailing list for the organizers of national and
regional IGFs, from the IGF website, you can subscribe and also read
archives:

http://mail.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/igfregionals_intgovforum.org

IF you read the archive, there written a draft principle or criteria
close to what Secretariat posted to the website as an summary outcome
of the meeting:

As a starting point you are invited to comment on the following
proposed criteria to be met by the national and regional IGF
initiatives:

a. Provision of a contact person details with a working email address

b. Provision of working web page/web site with information including
who is involved, description of how to participate, etc.

c. Publication of an agenda for any public event

d. Publication of a report within 3 months after any formal event

e. Maintaining an open, inclusive, multi- stakeholder approach


I also posted the following note to the governance list in May.
As shown below, it was an informal meeting of the organizers of
national and regional IGFs during lunch time of open consultation day,
not MAG day, nor MAG meeting.

IT was supposed to continue the discussion, I guess, but Secretariat
put it on the web as principle I guess.

Hope this clarifies.
