[IGFmaglist] Input to the evaluation guideline and criteria

Wed Apr 6 02:39:09 EDT 2016

May I suggest to have a general over arching theme that really meet current demands for developing countries as well as the strategies towards achieving the SDGs so that it could be part of a series of consequent IGFs aligning with the global 2030 target; insuring knowledge sharing and transfer related to how internet access and governance can really make a difference in every one life and help achieving the necessary inclusion and growth distribution balance.

The theme is (subject to your review and tuning):
" Internet Governance & Inclusive Growth"

The theme is short; clear and capable of handling different sub themes while maintaining the spirit of aligning with the global agenda. Focus on different type of measurable growth that embrace inclusiveness through further internet access and better governance.

We could also build in part on the work done during last IGF.

For your consideration...

All best regards;
Hossam Elgamal

Agree. Flavio indeed did. 

It's the least we will need to close before the proposed call for workshop proposals goes out on the 15th.

If we're really -- yeah, the overarching theme.  If we really will discuss this overarching theme, then this would be our guidance in the call for workshop proposals.  And then the proposers should write at least one paragraph in their proposals stating how this proposal fits into the overarching theme.  So this would give some focus to the proposals, and I think we could combine the two ideas.  Having the main overarching theme, having a bottom-up approach, and having the tags to help us cluster the sub themes."
