Short report by Bill Drake :
We had a productive meeting today with some of
the G77 & China governments and agreed to actively explore maintaining an
ongoing dialogue, most notably with respect to the development dimensions of
Internet governance. We will probably try to organize follow-up F2F
meetings, perhaps in the summer and fall, and could create a joint
electronic space to advance more inclusive discussion. There was also some
interest in the possibility of collaborating on the monitoring and analysis
of governance trends from a development perspective, although the modalities
would have to be worked out. Finally, they were keen to see more analytical
work on IG and development from academics and other CS researchers, which
could aid their own efforts.
The webcast did not work, and therefore the IRC and the remote
consultation was of a little use.
Closed Advisory Group meeting. ( 04-95 September 2007, Geneva )
This meeting was not announced in advance on the IGF web site, and was closed
even to silent observers.
Meeting Point/Village Square:
Participants wishing to reserve a space for their institution should contact the Secretariat. Small stalls will be made available for interested institutions. Depending on the demand, interested institutions will be asked to either share stalls or take turns.
