<div class="">To Ginger’s point: First, please not
that tomorrow 15 November is the last day to do

<div class="">Second, Lea has suggested that retiring
and incoming CS MAG members get together for some
updating and brainstorming on the current state of
play in MAG. I think this would be a really good
idea, as it has often been difficult in recent years
to get the CS contingent to strategically
collaborate, and we have an opportunity to reboot
efforts here. This would be particularly important
with respect to this meeting, which should
significantly impact whether the IGF takes seriously
the NETmundial mandate with regard to strengthening
the process:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><i class="">Improvements should include
inter-alia:<br class="">
a. Improved outcomes: Improvements can be
implemented including creative ways of providing
outcomes/recommendations and the analysis of
policy options;<br class="">
b. Extending the IGF mandate beyond five-year
terms;<br class="">
c. Ensuring guaranteed stable and predictable
funding for the IGF, including through a broadened
donor base, is essential;<br class="">
d. The IGF should adopt mechanisms to promote
worldwide discussions between meetings through
intersessional dialogues. <br class="">
A strengthened IGF could better serve as a
platform for discussing both long standing and
emerging issues with a view to contributing to the
identification of possible ways to address them.</i></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Some of these were key objectives that
the IGC promoted since 2005 before interest in the
IGF dissipated a bit in recent years. Now with the
NM statement as a platform there’s never been a
better time to push to make the IGF a bit more
focused, useful, and hopefully able to draw back
into discussion more developing country government
participants. However it will not be easy as there
are well organized forces who’d oppose any changes
that make the IGF more than a talk shop, and the
chair is, to put it mildly, rather cautious. Hence
the current draft agenda for the MAG meeting
relegates intersessional work and improved outcomes
to being just one of four topics covered in a three
hour session, not a promising start. I noted that
would not be enough time, and received the zen
response that we have the time we have (much of
which is in fact underprogrammed). So if CS cares
to push for a more focused discussion and an
action-oriented IGF, this would require
coordination.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">I believe some people will be arriving

exercise and WSIS+10 issues the afternoon of
Thursday 27 November and all day Friday 28th.
Monday 1 Dec is the IGF open consultation, 2-3
Tues-Wed is the open MAG meeting. </div>

As a new CS member of the MAG, I hope
you will all be vocal in letting me/us
know what positions we should emphasise
for IGF2015, in particular for attending
the issues of highest importance for
LAC. I/we count on your input and
expertise. I like Carolina's idea of a
hangout or other meeting to discuss
priorities and strategies before the
December open consultations and MAG
meeting.<br class="">
