I support the call.
It should be accompanied with the UN providing permanent
institutional funding for it. Nothing can be permanent and stable
without clear and stable source of funding.
BTW, the IGF is right now a 'project' of UNDESA, and projects
normally are not permanent. For being permanent it has to be an
incorporated body with institutional funding.
Anne, in the CSTD WG on IGF improvements, IT for Change and some
developing country asked for a part of domain names tax collected
by ICANN to be dedicated to IGF funding. This has to be done in a
statutory/ constitutional manner and not as ad hoc, upto ICANN,
measure.

Actually the point about stable and predictable funding - and I would add to that, transparent and accountable financial management - seems just as important as (and closely linked to) the permanent mandate.

within the few days available to
coordiante enough signatures by
governments to make this an all
inclusive statement.)

such a cross-stakeholder statement
would find support in civil society.
