> In line with what many of you have already expressed, I would simply like
> to state that to me the value of these national and regional initiatives in
> the IGF lies in two key characteristics:
>
> 1. The subsidiarity principle: the closer the discussions take place to
> the implicated people and communities, the more IG issues will be part of
> the national communities and the regional dicussions. Thence there is a
> greater chance that the IGF will also achieve a greater value and
> legitimacy for an increasing number of people.
> 2. There is a need to involve more high quality participation in workshop
> proposals and other IGF sessions from developing regions. Currently there
> is a strong imbalance, as has been reflected in some comments in this list
> a few days ago. The enhancement of national and regional initiatives will
> help to achieve not only a greater IG literacy but hopefully a more
> relevant and meaningful participation of people and organizations from
> these regions.

> Best regards,
> Carolina
