Subject: IGF Best Practices reports

Dear all,

In view of next week's MAG meeting / Open Consultations, I am sharing with
you advance copies of the final reports of the five Best Practice Forums. 

You will recall that the MAG identified the following five areas as themes
for the Istanbul Best Practice Forums:

.      Developing meaningful multistakeholder mechanisms
.      Regulation and mitigation of unwanted communications (e.g. spam)
.      Online child protection
.      Establishing and supporting Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs)
for Internet security
.      Creating an enabling environment for the development of local content

Each theme was dealt with in one separate session at the IGF 2014 meeting,
while a final wrap-up session brought the outcomes of the individual
sessions to the broader IGF community.

The preparatory process started shortly after the MAG at its Paris meeting
in May decided to hold the Best Practices session. Lead experts managed
email list serves and led global discussions on these topics. They were
supported by the IGF Secretariat, which had recruited two additional experts
for this purpose. Each group published an initial draft prior to the 2014
Istanbul IGF meeting and opened them up for public comment.

At the IGF Best Practice Forum wrap-up session in Istanbul, the broader
community provided additional comments, which were incorporated into the
draft documents. While for some Best Practice Forums most of the work was
done through the online process, for others, the physical meeting in
Istanbul provided a valuable corrective with some substantial additions. The
reports were finalized in an online process. 

The lead experts noted that each thread had found rough consensus on some
issues and acknowledged that further work in each area was needed. The final
outcome documents in each of these areas reflect the rough consensus views
of the lead experts and contributing stakeholders. The reports on each of
the five themes are fairly substantive, but for ease of reference each
report is preceded by a two page executive summary which highlights the
areas of consensus and also notes divergent views. Of particular interest
for next week's meeting are the suggestions for future work which are
brought to the attention of the MAG and all interested stakeholders.

The reports are now being formatted and will undergo some final editing
(mainly ensuring language consistency) by the IGF Secretariat. They will be
made available on the IGF website later this week .

Best regards
Markus
