I see it a good idea.

Hi all,
at the BB meeting yesterday we discussed the idea of a BB
statement that would ask the UN to make the IGF a permanent
body instead of renewing its mandate for another limited
term of 5 or 10 years.
This idea found broad support among the attendees of the BB
meeting.
Later on I discussed the content of such a statement with
other stakeholders at the IGF and I got the impression that
we might be able to draft a cross-stakeholder statement
together with the technical community and the private
sector. (Individual governments support such a statement too
but I am not sure it would be possible within the few days
available to coordiante enough signatures by governments to
make this an all inclusive statement.)
Right now, a multi-stakeholder statement coming out of this
IGF is only an idea that needs further exploration within
the respective groups. So, with this email to the bb list
and the IGC list I am asking for your opinions to find out
if such a cross-stakeholder statement would find support in
civil society.

P.S. Lately, I have been unable to post to the IGC list. If
this email does not appear on the IGC list, would someone be
so kind to forward it?
