[IGFmaglist] Deadline clarification: Connecting & Enabling the Next Billion 2016 -- Please disseminate

[Constance Bommelaer]

Dear all,


As you know, a Call for Public Input<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/policy-options/799-2016-cenb-call-for-contributions-11-july-2016-2> on Phase II of the IGF intersessional theme 'Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion' was recently launched (see below).


We would like to clarify the deadline for contributions. While input by 31 July 2016 would be appreciated, the Secretariat will continue to receive contributions on a rolling basis until 31 August for the first draft. Thereafter, further opportunities for input on specific versions of the outcome document will be announced.


To facilitate the participation of national and regional IGF initiatives (NRIs) that might only host their respective events later this year, no deadline has been prescribed for NRIs. Similarly, other organizations that have meetings later this year are also encouraged to submit any outcome documents after their respective meetings.


We look forward to receiving your valuable input.


Best regards,

Constance

Subject: [IGFmaglist] Call for input / Connecting & Enabling the Next Billion 2016 -- Please disseminate




Dear all,



This is to invite all MAG members to disseminate the attached Call for Public Input<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/policy-options/799-2016-cenb-call-for-contributions-11-july-2016-2> on Phase II of the intersessional theme 'Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion'.



This call is based on the framework document<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/policy-options/796-connectingthenextbillion-framework-phase-ii-v7> which was developed with the generous assistance of various stakeholders over the past few months. In this document, both the need for emphasizing national and regional specificities, as well as the importance of investigating the ways in which connecting and enabling more users can help support the new sustainable development goals (SDGs) were stressed.



All IGF stakeholders, as well as leaders of IGF initiatives, including best practice forums (BPFs), dynamic coalitions (DCs) and workshop sessions are encouraged to contribute to this important initiative, which will help pave the way to IGF 2016<http://www.igf2016.mx/> in Guadalajara, Mexico, in December this year.



While all contributions will be welcomed, a proposed format for submissions is contained in the attached Call for Input. Kindly send all input to Anri van der Spuy (avanderspuy at unog.ch<mailto:avanderspuy at unog.ch>) and Brian Gutterman (gutterman at un.org)<mailto:gutterman at un.org%29>.



Best regards,

Constance
