>>
>> - Online Outreach & remote participants

>> - Outreach to intergovernmentals (high level messaging)
>> - Outreach to Business Community
>> - Outreach to Civil Society communities
>> - Outreach to technical communities

>> - IGF website improvement ( e.g. we can build on integrating IGF

>> - Profile of IG related upcoming events requiring urgent messaging
>> - Social media, Google+, Twitter, facebook, email activities General
>> awareness raising
>> - Measuring the impact of the WG effort
>>
>>
>> *3. Work Program Calendar:*
>>
>> In addition, just like we did last year, but with modification/call for

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> - Different level of messages for different level of stakeholders
>> - Identifying opportunities for communication/interactions
>> - Determine modes of our communications – emails, IGF website,
>> e-brochures etc.
>> - IGF community blogging
>>
>> *4. WG Response to IGF Retreat*
>>
>> It is imperative that the WG provides a cohesive input into the IGF
>> retreat. We should improve on the Ginger's draft input before 5th July.
>> Please let's take advantage of the weekend to work this draft document.
>>
>> 5.* IGF Website Improvement*
>>
>> In the above workstream above I have proposed for buiding and
>> integration of IGF Resource Center (IRC). The IRC will provide the much
