hello all,
The information given by William were interesting and edifying. In my
opinion, it is necessary that both the regional and global IGF national
level, continental must include in their programs of activities a specific
section on preparations for the IGF next year.
This implies that each nationality IGF, regional and continental a
rapid assessment
is made to gather the concerns of all stakeholders in the form of
recommendations.
I think at the stage where we are, it would make sense that we resume the
form of the preparatory meetings and improve the formula REFERRING to the
following:
*a. Improved results: Improvements can be implemented, including creative
ways to deliver results / recommendations and analysis of policy options;
b. Extending the mandate of the IGF beyond the five-year terms; c. Ensure a
stable and predictable funding guaranteed for the IGF, including through a
broader base of donors, is essential; d. The IGF should adopt mechanisms to
promote exchanges between meetings worldwide through dialogue sessions.*
NM has given a new impetus to the IGF but it also drew new perspectives on the
issues and challenges not only Internet applications but also its use by
users according to their area of responsibility.
Do not lose sight of that with the exponential growth of digital
technology which
has the axis of rotation the "internet", new threats are emerging that the
international community must take all responsibility.
There are new powers have emerged and continue to emerge through the
facilities offered by digital technology.
