The ‘setting the scene’ session will be followed by a moderated session bringing in different
regional and national perspectives as they emerged from various meetings held throughout 2010.
This will be a moderated session with representatives of the various regional meetings held in
2010. The goal is for this session is twofold. This session will:
- provide regional input on the thematic themes of IGF 2010 to give participants a cross
regional perspective;
- allow the representatives of the regional and national meetings to inform IGF 2010 of
concerns and topics beyond those included in the programme for IGF 2010.
Rapporteurs will be asked not to read out a report, but to focus on key priorities as they emerged
from the session and identify commonalities with other meetings as well as differences and to
convey messages wherever applicable. Reports should be made available well in advance of the
session and will be posted on the IGF Web site in the section devoted to regional and national
initiatives. Remote hubs will be given the opportunity to interact with the meeting. Organizers of
regional and national IGF type meetings are invited to hold open forums that will allow them to give
a full in-depth report of the meeting. In addition, an open forum where all regional meetings could
exchange experiences was mentioned as a possibility.
