Devon,
I thank you for having raised this pertinent question.
When I read paragraph 72, which defines the mandate of the IGF, paragraph
73, which describes the function and operation of the IGF, paragraph 77
which explains the role of the IGF, it is necessary to ask who is empowered
to endorse the recommendations of the IGF at the national level?
In fact the national IGF's report is then presented to the regional level,
at least the recommendations. But these recommendations of national IGF
concerns over the country and is expected to resolve the issues at country
level.
Who should we address these recommendations?
Question may be naive but it has its importance.
I know that in IGF no decision to make, but when we are at the national
level where there are decision makers directly involved in the debates as
well as other stakeholders, what is driving take?
Another question that haunts?
Many countries in Africa and the world, have already organized their IGF,
can they share with us how it goes in their respective countries?
(Just to reach the initial question posed by Arsene)
If the IGF must be limited to events or specific activities similar to
folklore, however is paragraph 72 which gives a mandate to the IGF.
WSIS + 10 gives a new mission with the objectives of sustainable
development while renewing the IGF for 10 years. We are in a new paradigm.
I strongly support the issues raised by Devon and deserve reflection.
