Subject: [IGFmaglist] National and regional IGFs: subsidiarity principle and leveling participation
Dear Colleagues,
I didn't have time to talk today since the interpreters' were leaving and Janis was strict with timing.
In line with what many of you have already expressed, I would simply like to state that to me the value of these national and regional initiatives in the IGF lies in two key characteristics:
1. The subsidiarity principle: the closer the discussions take place to the implicated people and communities, the more IG issues will be part of the national communities and the regional dicussions. Thence there is a greater chance that the IGF will also achieve a greater value and legitimacy for an increasing number of people.
2. There is a need to involve more high quality participation in workshop proposals and other IGF sessions from developing regions. Currently there is a strong imbalance, as has been reflected in some comments in this list a few days ago. The enhancement of national and regional initiatives will help to achieve not only a greater IG literacy but hopefully a more relevant and meaningful participation of people and organizations from these regions.
Best regards,
Carolina
