Dear All,
I would like to inform and share with you that the representatives of the
Member- States have concluded informal discussions of the draft UN
resolution  A/C.2/69/L.11 on Information and communications technologies
for development.

It was an extremely challenging discussion process with many formal and
informal consultations on ICT4D including a possible extension of the IGF
mandate.  The draft has more references on the significant role of IGF than
in the 2013 Resolution and acknowledges the importance of the IGF and its
mandate  as a forum for multi-stakeholder dialogue on various matters,
including public policy issues related to key elements of Internet
governance and its role in building partnerships among different
stakeholders, including through national and regional initiatives.

The Resolution welcomes the offer of Mexico to host the next meeting of the
IGF 2016, and recommends that the extension of the mandate of the IGF be
considered in the context of the overall review in 2015.

The resolution also recalls the GA resolution 68/302 on the “Modalities for
the overall review by the General Assembly of the implementation of the
outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society” and welcoming the
High Level Meeting of the UNGA in December 2015.

Please find below  the para 17 of the draft resolution relating the IGF
mandate for your info. Once the resolution is adopted, we will share it
with you. best, slava

17. Welcomes with appreciation the offer made by Mexico to host the next
meeting of the Internet Governance Forum in 2016, and recommends that the
extension of the mandate of the IGF be considered in the context of the
overall review in 2015 [adopted ad ref],
