I haven't seen any information about a conference call for the APrIGF PC. I'm at the Lacnic 19 meeting in Colombia, but timezone permitting I will do my best to join.

I've would really appreciate if someone can clarify if there is a meeting happening, and if so, when and how I should be joining in.

Thanks for helping me out :)

Subject: Re: [Rigf_program] National/Regional IGF session proposal

The MAG is now discussing how to include national and regional IGFs in
the Bali meeting.  Suggestion so far is for a coordinating group, led
by MAG members.  I suggest we still submit a proposal about a session
and have updated the draft I sent after our last call.  Sylvia, hope I
caught and included your comments.

Do we have a call on Friday?

Best,

Adam


Proposal for a National and Regional IGF session at Bali IGF.
Contribution from the APrIGF multi-stakeholder steering committee, for
the IGF open consultation, 21 May 2013, Geneva.

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
are 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. The
coordinating group will produce an initial analysis of the
regional/national IGFs reports submitted. The analysis will be an
input for the dialogue.  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.

Based on the input reports, initial analysis and discussion, an
outcome report identifying areas of commonality and difference should
be prepared by the coordinating group as an output of the session. The
outcome report will go beyond identification/comparison to provide a
more substantive analysis; for example on common challenges faced,
different/local interpretations of same topics, etc.

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 report to be prepared.

END

Dear Adam and all…

Just wanted to make a small suggestion here… it will be great if the
coordinating group as proposed by Adam, does some preparatory work and
offers an initial analysis of the regional/national IGFs reports submitted.
The analysis will be an input for the dialogue, to do the "identifying areas
of commonality and difference" prior to the session, as well as challenges
and results. The outcome report will then go beyond
identification/comparison to provide a more substantive analysis. For
example on common challenges faced, different/local interpretations of same
topics, etc. I believe the role of that coordinating group proposed is
critical to ensure that the session goes beyond just long reports on a
session competing for attention from other sessions.

All the best,

Sylvia

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.

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
