Dear colleagues,

I have read through all the comments carefully and hopefully have found an acceptable way forward.  Apologies for the delay in turning this around, I have had to start and stop it several times.

First,  thank you to everyone for the careful reviews and all the efforts over the past 5 or so months.   I began with the version submitted by Timea and incorporated comments and suggestions from all other submissions.

I think there is a lot of similarity (or could be) between the major policy project - CENB and what some members were looking for wrt new multiyear strategic topic(s).  I think it is a good time for the MAG to review how well our collective efforts have worked with the major policy project as it has been 4 years, and  improvements are likely needed.  Some of the suggestions from WG members may be appropriate for future major policy projects.

With respect to the two pilots that were reviewed in the WG - I believe those options are still open and a number of WG members want to continue exploring them.  They address modalities of working, of outreach and also exploring new modalities of outputs/recommendations.   The first step could be to get agreement on a topic or two and then determine how/if it might benefit from exploring these modalities.    One option is that we explore whether a new major policy initiative could be improved by following some of the suggestions in those pilots.   In any case, given there was interest in these ideas from a number of WG members, I attempted to capture the current state in the following bullet under Next Steps:   "The reports ‘Strengthened cooperation within the context of the IGF 2019’ and “Methodologies for the Development of Written IGF Outputs” provide additional ideas and may be helpful to the MAG in their deliberations.”    I also added (last paragraph):  "There was no WG consensus possible on these pilots this year (for several reasons), but there was significant interest on the part of a number of members and hence should be included in this status report."

One of the things we consistently hear is that a longer horizon wrt the topics the IGF will focus on would be helpful in outreach efforts and in bringing in additional donors.   We have also heard that BPFs would benefit from a multi-year chartering as there would be no downtime between outgoing and Incoming MAG decisions, and would result in a more efficient start-up.  A multi-year chartering would also provide the ability (and time) to reach out to other collaborators.  To that end, I added one bullet under Next Steps -- for the WGs consideration… "4) Review the possibility of adopting multi-year intersessional activities for some BPFs and/or a major policy initiative.”  If WG members prefer to leave that out - no problem, we can pick it up with the MAG in the future.

Just FYI, I am undecided as to whether or not I think the WG should continue, but this is a decision for the incoming MAG anyway.   This work is important enough and broad enough that it should be with the whole MAG (and this year, we expect to have more time to get through all that needs to be done).

A few additional comments:

Pradeep, you suggested capturing any “resolutions” made by the WG and calling them out separately.  I think this is a great idea going forward but as we did not declare them as such at the time, I do not feel we can call them out here.  We do try and indicate where the WG was in agreement.

Also, you suggested including any challenges foreseen for this WG as part of the report to the MAG, and this is another good idea.  I believe some of this was done in some of the suggestions and extending this as part of any transition discussion between the incoming and outgoing MAG would be a good start.

I made a few comments in response to other comments but the editing was acting up on me so they all say Author.  I indicated my comments by adding “Lynn:” at the beginning of them.

Hope this report meets with your approval.  if we can get agreement in time we can report it as such on the MAG call this week, but I appreciate that may be difficult, in which case we will report it as a work in process.

Note: need final copies of the reports ‘Strengthened cooperation within the context of the IGF 2019’ and “Methodologies for the Development of Written IGF Outputs” to include as an Annex and/or links.  Want to make sure I have the latest versions.

Best,
Lynn
