[IGFmaglist] Input to the evaluation guideline and criteria

Wed Apr 6 01:42:36 EDT 2016

Dear Madam Chair,

I was wondering yesterday when we spent so much time on work proposal and
guidelines when we are yet to provide the basis for the guidelines. I
completely agree with Flavio on his points raised.

We need to focus on developing overarching theme for this IGF as possible.
Please be reminded Madam Chair, some N/R IGF initiatives are waiting to
know the overarching theme of the IGF before setting the stage for
engagement this year. The earlier we do this the better for our
communication outreach. Perhaps we could learn from last year experince
where Special Working Group assisted in fast tracking this process.

Best Regards

Segun Olugbile
