[IGFmaglist] GCCS 2015 Chairman's statement

Mon Apr 20 08:20:52 EDT 2015

I also welcome the GCCS statement.  UNESCO Executive Board is also meeting, still this week, with the important opportunity to endorse the "Connecting the Dots" outcome statement.  
I am hoping that others would agree that it would also be helpful to share information regarding any MAG members who will attend CSTD, ITU Council, and WSIS Forum.
Might I ask the Secretariat to invite those attending to share that information with the Secretariat, who might then compile such a list.
As an FYI, I will be at all three events in May.  I hestitate to call it "May Madness", so will call it May Marathon. A much betterdescription!

Thank you for sharing, Chengetai, and thanks to all who contributed to this outcome. We should build on the support for the IGF shown at the GCCS and UNESCO in March at other forums leading up to the WSIS review, particularly the upcoming CSTD.
Warm wishes,Lea
