[Rigf_program] National/Regional IGF session proposal

[Adam Peake]

Hi everyone,

We discussed sending a proposal for the open consultation about this
year's main session on regional and national IGFs.  Some ideas about
such a contribution below.

As yet, there doesn't seem to be a process for making comment for the
IGF open consultation, Geneva, 21 May.  I expect something will be
posted soon.

edit/comment please.

Thanks,

Adam


Proposal for Regional and National session (Bali IGF)
Contribution from the APrIGF multi-stakeholder steering committee, IGF
open consultation, 21 May.

There should be a session in Bali to allow national/regional IGFs to
share and discuss information about the outcomes of their meetings.

We suggest that the coordinators of each national/regional activity be
invited to join a coordinating group, which will work with the MAG and
IGF Secretariat to arrange the session.

The coordinating group should prepare a standard reporting format.
Reports of each national/regional activity should be prepared in
advance of the session and made available on the IGF website.  Each
report can be briefly introduced during a "reporting-in" part of the
session.

We suggest that the main purpose of the session should be to allow
discussion between the respective national/regional activities.
Discussion should seek to identify the commonality of views across the
different regions/countries, and at the same time identify the unique
elements that arise from each process.

A collected paper of outcomes identifying areas of commonality and
difference should be prepared by the coordinating group as an output
of the session.

Features:  a substantive session that focuses on dialogue not
reporting.  Written reports, to a pre-agreed format, required from
each process must be submitted before the Bali IGF.  Brief
reporting-in from each national/regional activity important.  Session
outcome document to be prepared.  3 hours session.

END
