[governance] Preparing for the IGF Open Consultation

[Nnenna]

Interesting report from APC, Anriette.  I do identify with most of the issues raised there.  Here are a few other thoughts:


	1. The Good: the organising of a huge IT show at the same time at the Baku Expo center was a great initiative by the host country.
	2. The bad: The rip-off of Azeri taxis was really outrageous.

	3. The future: In 2013, it will be interesting to see some local IG-oriented organisations take part in the  event, not just at hospitality level. I did not see a critical massof Azeris in the sessions.  I know that Indonesia has a huge blogger community and it will be interesting to see them fully: in sessions and exhibition areas

Dear all

Attached is the APC assessment of the 2012 IGF and recommendations for the 2013 IGF.

We support the IRP coalition's proposals for a main themefocused on 'internet governance principles'.

[with IGC coordinator hat on] Dear all In regard to the upcoming Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Open
Consultation on Feb 28 in Paris: I will be there and available to represent the IGC. However I will be
able to this only effectively to the extent that I get informed in
advance about the viewpoints that we have in the Caucus. Of course, for the points on which we have reached consensus during
preparation of our written contribution, that consensus will also guide
me in everything that I will say on those points. But there may be a need to react to proposals of other stakeholder
groups, etc, and hence there is IMO a need for additional preparation. As far as I can see, the planned synthesis is not available yet. However all the written contributions from various stakeholder
organizations are available at
http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/contributionsigf . Please post any comments you may have, that might be useful for me as
guidance on Feb 28, here on the list. The draft agenda for the Feb 28 consultation is here:
