[IGFmaglist] STI Forum (was: Re: Side Event on “The Multistakeholder-Multidisciplinary Approach to Internet Governance, etc.)

[Lynn St.Amour]

Dear MAG members,

FYI, in addition to the Side Event to promote the IGF (organized by DESA, and the Permanent Mission of the United Arab Emirates to the UN and the Permanent Mission of the Federal Republic of Germany to the UN), I will be a panelist in the final session tomorrow.   Mr. Vaughan Turekian and Mr. Macharia Kamau (see below) were the Co-Chairs of the first STI Forum (2016) where I discussed the IGF, IGF intersessional activities and NRIs, and they were very interested in learning from IGF experiences.  I also thought they were two of the best Chairs I had seen, actively encouraging concrete comments and frankly imploring everyone to do all they could to help deliver on the SDGs.  I will again cover the IGF, IGF intersessional activities and NRIs with the central theme being the MS nature of all we do.
