 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?
