At the end of the morning session, Mr. Nitin Desai -- the U.N. Secretary-General's Special Advisor for the World Summit on the Information Society and the Chair of the current meeting -- posed a list of very thoughtful questions for the Internet Governance Forum ("IGF"):
(a) Everyone accepts that the IGF should include multi-stakeholder participation, but what does this actually mean?
(b)
Everyone accepts that the IGF should have a program committee or a
steering committee, but how should this be accomplished? Who will pick
the members of the steering committee? What is the process for
their selection?
(c) Everyone accepts that the IGF should have a short meeting, once a year, of two or three days. Should the IGF also have a perpetual virtual meeting online? What sorts of virtual forums should the IGF create to enable partcipation?
(d) How should the IGF meeting in Greece be structured? Should it be an open agenda or should it have specific topics assigned to specific days and times?
(e) Everyone agrees that the IGF should focus on best practices, but how do we make the IGF an attractive forum for the people who are designing and implementing these practices so that they will want to participate and share their findings and insights?
(f) Finally, what do we expect the first IGF in Greece to look like?
