Sorry for cross posting but thought some of our members may want to read this, especially the remarks by MAG Chair.
I am sourcing the CSTD WG report on Improvements to the IGF and will share it when i have it. I welcome anyone who may already have it.
Regards,A

The comments of the MAG chair, and the Secretariat as given during the CSTD session today are attached.
I am attending the CSTD, and will be one of the five business appointees to the upcoming CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation, by the CSTD Chair. Many governments are making statements about WSIS follow up, about the SDGs. And, this afternoon, focusing on the WG on EC.
For those who do not know of CSTD's role in regard to the IGF, as the IGF is an outcome of the Tunis agenda, and is tasked by the UN General Assembly to continue to provide annual reviews and reports on progress toward implementing the Information Society, each year in May at the CSTD, the Secretariat of the IGF makes a report on progress toward the Improvements to the IGF.
I am happy to take questions related to the CSTD meeting discussions, and Anja can forward any other questions to the MAG Chair and IGF Secretariat.

Subject: [IGFmaglist] 19th Session CSTD
Dear MAG Members,
Chengetai and I were both invited to sit on a panel at the 19th session of the UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD).
The title of the panel was: Progress made in the implementation of and follow-up to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) outcomes at the regional and international levels.
My remarks are below and they were read by Chengetai, who followed up with his own remarks with additional information on IGF 2016 and on the accomplishments in relation to the CSTD WG report on Improvements to the IGF. I am sure he will send his remarks along shortly. The panel was held earlier today and the audio stream should be posted any moment.
I was not able to attend the WSIS or CSTD meetings in person but am following many of the sessions remotely.
Comments welcome, of course.
Regards,
Lynn
