Hi Ralf,

Thanks for the inside view.  You mentioned progress taking place.  Perhaps you could outline some specifics. 

What may be helpful for this meeting as well as others would be an update or summary of itemized areas of progress and specific areas where progress needs to take place. These could also possibly be keyed to declaration/document bench marks While there have been previous reports that have mentioned some of this, I am thinking of a much more formal type of template, which would make it easier to track large quantities of information/changes in many content/process areas.

If such a summary (brief) template could be published for each important meeting, it would be very useful to keep all CS members current on a wide range of issues, especially those which they may not typically be following.

Just a suggestion.

Elizabeth

and reporting-back of the CS members of WGIG is not really working), but I 
have dug through the detailed transcripts of the open consultations on 
Monday. Here is my take on it. Comments are welcome, as always.

Best, Ralf

Internet Governance Debate Moving to Next Stage
WGIG has started to discuss recommendations

20 April 2005. The Working Group on Internet Governance has had its third 
meeting on the last three days in Geneva. The discussion is now moving 
from mapping the internet governance landscape of institutions and 
stakeholders towards assessments and recommendations. Monday’s session was 
conducted as an open consultation, yesterday and today the group was 
meeting in private. Expectedly, a few conflicts surfaced again, which 
mainly circled around the role of different stakeholders, the question of 
a new organisational framework, and the Multilateralization of the core 
Internet resources. But progress can be observed. More...
