Hi Segun,
thank you. And, apologies for the delay in responding. I am trying to catch up on several items, and the IGF Secretariat and I are working on some remarks for the Inter-Sessional Panel meeting of the CSTD later this week. Will send those once completed. I hope to get the update on my World Economic Forum (WEF) activities out before the end of the week.
There is indeed alot we can follow up. The WEF staff said 1/3 of the participants were from Developing countries, a significant increase over past years. And, then there are the CEOs and key CS organizations.
Best regards,
Lynn

This was a gathering of private sector active players and governments, we need to immediately start the process of consultations and engagement, bringing those active players into the IG dialogue space, especially considering the unpredictable and the unfolding global policy scenarios being currently triggered by the new US administration.

One of the proposals was to associate case studies to the various policy options that have been developed at the global (phase I) and local levels (phase II). Should MAG members be interested, this discussion could be pursued at the next IGF Open Consultations and MAG meeting.

This is part of ongoing outreach activities of both the WEF and the IGF. It recognizes the common interest between the World Economic Forum’s development activities and so many of the IGF activities.

The IGF community and secretariat are working together in the IGF’s CENB Initiative and the WEF's Internet For All Initiative; if there is interest from the MAG, we could review these activities at the first IGF 2017 Open Consultation/ MAG meeting.
