[Bp_localcontent] Getting ready for Istanbul - Next steps towards IGF best practices

[Constance Bommelaer]

Dear Colleagues,

The IGF is a few weeks away now and will provide us an opportunity to meet in person and discuss the outcomes of the work this group has accomplished over the past weeks. We still have work ahead of us though -:), so here are proposed steps to get prepared for Istanbul:

  1.  Lead Experts of this group need to send the description of each 90 min Best Practices Forum (list of panelists, etc.) to the Secretariat (cmasango at unog.ch<mailto:cmasango at unog.ch> and STELEANU at unog.ch<mailto:STELEANU at unog.ch>) asap.
  2.  Lead Experts will be working in the coming days with Wout de Natris and John Laprise, the two consultants working with the Secretariat, on tightening up the draft outcomes. The drafts should reflect the mailing lists/webinars' discussions, answers to the common template questions (attached) but also background research conducted by the consultants.
  3.  The goal is for Lead Experts or the consultants to share the first drafts with their various lists by 20 August, inviting for public comments.
  4.  The draft outcomes will be presented by Lead Experts during each Best Practices Forum, in Istanbul, and during the Best Practices Main Session (please plan to participate: 4 Sept, 14:30, Main Session Room).
  5.  After the IGF, the consultants will work comments gathered during the IGF into the drafts, before final publication.

Here is the schedule of the 5 Best Practices Forums<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/schedule-igf2014> is Istanbul:

  *   2 Sept., 11:00 - 12:30, Room 1: Creating an Enabling environment for the Development of Local Content
  *   3 Sept. 14:30 - 16:00, Room 1: Regulation and mitigation of unwanted communications (e.g. Spam)
  *   3 Sept. 16:30 - 18h00, Room 1: Developing Meaningful Multistakeholder Mechanisms
  *   4 Sept. 9:00 - 10:30, Room 1: Online Child Protection
  *   4 Sept. 11:00 - 12:30, Room 1: Establishing and Supporting CERTs for Internet Security
  *   4 Sept. 14:30 - 16:00, Main Session Room: IGF Best Practices Main Session

Ahead of the IGF, Wout and John will also be working with the Secretariat to post all supporting documentation (written contributions received, background information used through your research, draft outcome document) on the IGF website so it can be used as a resource center in the future. A Best Practices section was created here: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/best-practice-forums

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Lead Experts (Susan Chalmers and Stuart Hamilton).

Thank you for all your efforts and contributions to this effort!

Best regards,
