Hi Marianne.
This is an excellent summary and thank you for doing it . I agree with Lisa's
comments and would like to suggest the following observations-- can we weave in
any or some of the following
2 a Presentations and comments were virtually inaudible in some workshops
2 b Timings of Bus : Initially only one run was made at 7.55 am with a return
run at 6.30 pm when workshops were still in progress until 7.00 pm causing some
to leave the sessions early.
3 I do not have language prepared but but a strong statement on continuing
the IGF would be appropriate .
4 Something worth suggesting is interest based additional "white space" for
informal smaller meetings / networking platform and exchange of ideas between
governments, civil society and private sector
regards
Shaila

Thanks Lisa
Will weave these substantive - and organizational comments in.
Today is the last chance folks! It would be good to be able to send the
final full draft around one more time. NB: as Lisa says, a full report on
IRP activities is pending. That said, this taking stock statement does need
to balance the practical/organizational with substantive points that also
keep next year/the next phase in mind..
