[Rigf_program] National/Regional IGF session proposal

[Ang Peng Hwa (Prof)]

Adam and PC members,

May I suggest holding off on this just a little bit. Let me check with Marilyn Cade. She seems to have been tasked with running this.

In Kenya, such a session was on the main IGF programme. But in Baku, it became a parallel session. As it was, there was not enough time for national and regional presentations. I imagine that there would be even more national IGFs in Bali.

My dissatisfaction with the format is that with so many diverse views, it became more noise than signal. You leave the session no better informed than not attending it.

Allow me a couple of days to get back on this.

Peng Hwa

Thanks for this Adam,

This draft text works well for me and most importantly reflects well the sentiments and desires for this proposed session at the Bali IGF that wasvdiscussed in our APrIGF organising committee meeting held earlier today and  has therefore got my support as text (subject to any edits peoposed from the list discussions and agreed to by our consensus) to be forwarded as appropriate, when possible, in responce to the expected call for input to the IGF open consultation in May...

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
