[governance] caucus contribution, consultation and MAG meeting

[Norbert Bollow]

Regarding the suggestion for an overall IGF theme:

Adam had originally suggested: “enhanced cooperation — meaningful
participation of developing countries in Internet governance”.

Jeremy commented: “I don’t really like the subtitle because it is too
government-centric. I would prefer ‘meaningful participation of all
stakeholders in Internet governance’.”

On the basis of Jeremy’s comment, I changed the suggestion for the
overall theme to “Meaningful participation of all stakeholders in
Internet governance”. I don’t think that “enhanced cooperation —
meaningful participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance”
would fly, as that seems to me to be at odds with the interpretation of
“enhanced cooperation” in the recent resolution of the UN General
Assembly.

Now Baudounin Schombe has commented:
  “Meaningful participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance.”
  This idea is already interesting because the theme is inclusive and
  involves all stakeholders from all member countries of the UN. I
  propose this idea accentuated by offering the following, “The need for
  effective participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance.”
  This is to emphasize the importance of the active presence of national
  actors in the process of decision making on all matters relating to
  the management of the Internet at the local level. In some African
  countries, this approach is applied and well oiled. But many African
  countries are not yet in this logic. And this is where there is reason
  to believe the strengthening of cooperation.

What do the others think?

“Meaningful participation of all stakeholders in Internet governance”

or

“The need for effective participation of all stakeholders in Internet
governance.”

or something else?

Greetings,
Norbert
