<p dir="ltr">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...</p>

Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
We discussed sending a proposal for the open consultation about this<br>
year's main session on regional and national IGFs. Some ideas about<br>
such a contribution below.<br>
<br>
As yet, there doesn't seem to be a process for making comment for the<br>
IGF open consultation, Geneva, 21 May. I expect something will be<br>
posted soon.<br>
<br>
edit/comment please.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Proposal for Regional and National session (Bali IGF)<br>
Contribution from the APrIGF multi-stakeholder steering committee, IGF<br>
open consultation, 21 May.<br>
<br>
There should be a session in Bali to allow national/regional IGFs to<br>
share and discuss information about the outcomes of their meetings.<br>
<br>
We suggest that the coordinators of each national/regional activity be<br>
invited to join a coordinating group, which will work with the MAG and<br>
IGF Secretariat to arrange the session.<br>
<br>
The coordinating group should prepare a standard reporting format.<br>
Reports of each national/regional activity should be prepared in<br>
advance of the session and made available on the IGF website. Each<br>
report can be briefly introduced during a "reporting-in" part of the<br>
session.<br>
<br>
We suggest that the main purpose of the session should be to allow<br>
discussion between the respective national/regional activities.<br>
Discussion should seek to identify the commonality of views across the<br>
different regions/countries, and at the same time identify the unique<br>
elements that arise from each process.<br>
<br>
A collected paper of outcomes identifying areas of commonality and<br>
difference should be prepared by the coordinating group as an output<br>
of the session.<br>
<br>
Features: a substantive session that focuses on dialogue not<br>
reporting. Written reports, to a pre-agreed format, required from<br>
each process must be submitted before the Bali IGF. Brief<br>
reporting-in from each national/regional activity important. Session<br>
outcome document to be prepared. 3 hours session.<br>
<br>
END<br>
