Subject: [IGFmaglist] Update - IGF Best Practices Forums & Main Session

Dear all,

This note is to give you a quick update on the status of preparations of the Best Practices Forums and collect the group's thoughts on the organization of the Main Session  "Best Practices Forums Wrap-up".

The Lead Experts (see names below) have kick-started the discussion on the various mailing lists. The discussion has picked-up in the Local Content, Spam and CERTs groups. Increased participation is still encouraged in the 2 other groups: Online Child Protection and Multistakeholder Mechanisms (you can sign-up to the mailing lists here: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/open-call-to-join-igf-best-practices-forums-preparatory-process )

The groups are looking at a set of 8 questions (common template attached). I understand the 2 UN consultants will be in place mid-July. They will assist the Lead Experts in documenting the discussions that will feed into the  five 90 minute sessions that will, in turn, report into a Best Practices wrap up Main Session (day 3).  A summary booklet/handout on each Best Practices discussion/forum is also one of the intended outcomes to be published after the IGF 2014 meeting.

With regards to the final Best Practices Main Session (90 min), it is suggested to organize it the following way:

  1.  Setting the scene, objectives and methodology of IGF Best Practices Forums (5 min)
  2.  Strengthening the role of the IGF to address emerging issues (5 min)
  3.  Presentation by Lead Experts of the outcomes of each Best Practices Forum (40 min – 5-10 min each)
  4.  Q&A with the audience, suggestions of new themes of Best Practices Forums (35 min)
  5.  Wrap-up, what worked/possible improvements for next year, pursuing the IGF's intersessional work (5 min)

Suggestions on the structure of the Main Session welcome!

Best,
Constance
