[IGFmaglist] IGF Istanbul press release?

[Ana Neves]

Dear Chengetai,

Could I understand from your email that we might be somehow tighten to these procedures and there is no room for what is being proposed by Constance? It's very interesting what Constance is proposing and moreover it could be very helpful for each country and stakeholder group to better disseminate IGF 2014 world-wide. One can call it any other thing than a "press release" if it raises procedural problems but we should reflect a little bit on this.

Thank you.

Best,

Ana

HI Constance,

The UN Department of Public Information  has a press team that is attached to the IGF meeting and they have already started work.

They have already started with briefing packages for journalists  and Assistant-Secretary-General Gass of UNDESA  is already scheduled to give interviews. We are also going through the UN radio etc..

The IGF meeting is also being advertised in the host country and as you may be aware we also work  with the World Broadcasting Union (WBU).

Best regards,

Chengetai

Dear all,

To follow-up on yesterday's MAG call, and thinking about the efforts this community is putting in strengthening the IGF this year, I have been wondering if the Secretariat or the MAG (or its chair?) could issue a press release early next week to announce the Istanbul event. It seems this would be in line with the recommendations of the CSTD WG on Improvements to the IGF, i.e., to find ways to leverage the work of the IGF.

The press release could announce the overall theme, the main themes, and also emphasize the outcomes on which the IGF community is working on (e.g. Roadmap for IGF improvements, recommendations from the Chair, outcomes of the regional track, best practices, etc.).

Maybe the Secretariat could enlighten us on communication possibilities around the IGF as I am sure there are procedural aspects to it.

Best regards,
