[IGFmaglist] 2019 Call for Workshop Proposals

[Veni Markovski]

Agree with June.
This does not prevent individuals, who are connected to their governments one way or another, to inform them about the call for workshops. It’s better, if they get information from two sources, than from one.

Dear All,

I want to point out once again that Governments will take instructions from official channels. Although NRI and MAG members can inform them, they will listen and take action from the UN, the German government and other officials. I am looking forward to this action taking place. In my country I am not even sure if my government knows what an NRI is, or even the Internet society. I have been trying my utmost best to communicate with government, hopefully this will be taken seriously before Berlin. I have had to go through channels like the Board of Tourism, the Geneva mission and ISOCBB.

I understand that the Secretariat will inform the Missions, perhaps they will pass on the information to the Government, perhaps not, they may put it at the bottom of the list, since they are more important things to deal with in small Island States. Some countries done have these problems. Nigeria for example does not have economic problems as far as I know.

So I will reintegrate that the higher the level of communication, they more attention will be given.

Hope that you will take note of what I just said and follow the suggestion. My argument is that we need to remind Berlin to send out invitations as soon as possible. So that small Island states can prepare and budget.

Regards

NDICHO And All,

I agree with this suggestion. Governments need to be sent a formal invitation in order to take the IGF seriously, we cannot assume that they know about it, or are interested in it. Especially with other issues that they consider to be priority, like trade, industry, links with other entities.

Regards

June Parris

Greetings Chengatai, hello MAG,

I must applaud the work done so far by the Secretariat and the formidable inputs from Luis and all.

While the 2019 Call for Workshop Proposals are being widely circulated, l would like to remind, pertaining to our last face-to-face seating that the issue of addressing letters to governments was tabled.

To this regard, I would like to request with the approval of the MAG that official letters addressed to Governments and other Stakeholder communities be distributed.


I would also, with the approval of the MAG, request that copies of these letters be forwarded to MAG members who can use this while lobbying for government participation at the IGF.


Best regards,

NDICHO BAMBO SAMUEL
