[Arsene TUNGALI (Yahoo)]

 blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; }  Dear Jac,
Thanks for this summary. 
I have a quick question: whose recommendations are these? I would love instead to hear what DESA has to say about the issues raised (hopefully by MAG members or participants to the call).
Oh i understand, maybe these are recommendations from the MAG to DESA? If yes, forget about the first paragrah of this email.
Thanks,A

Hello everyone,

Sharing a brief update from the MAG meeting discussing the retreat last
night.

The concerns around short timeline, problematics around representation
and participation, interest in knowing about content as well as outputs
of the process, broad participation were raised also in the meeting.

Some suggestions were put forth to address some of this, in summary:

* That the retreat not be seen as something that makes decisions, but
rather the start of articulating the process for a strategic plan. So
part of the "journey" of IGF improvements that has begun many years ago,
with the opportunity of a 10 year mandate
* That an open process be provided for inputs to shape the agenda
(including e.g. CSTD recommednaitons, WSIS + 10 doc)
* Remote participation in some way is important to promote transparency
and participation, and the need to balance this against smaller space
for brainstorming work as forwarded by some (live tweeting, remote
participation at some point every day)
* That outputs be open for comments and inputs by everyone
* That there be clarity around what happens next with these outputs -
roles and responsibilities
* And that recommendations and suggestions on how to make the retreat
work is open for consultation and inputs

I think that's it. May have missed out on some, but hope this gives a
gist of the conversation. Also happy to bring any further thoughts or
recommendations to the MAG space.
