[discuss] Draft statement on making IGF permanent

Tue Sep 2 05:00:29 UTC 2014

(removed cross posting)

Hi,

I agree that the letter makes a good case and is a good start.

I think we need to add a few elements, while working on keeping the text
relatively brief

I think the letter needs to include some information about the
development of a sustainable funding model and that this requires the
ability to do longer range planning.  I have added some text to that end.

I think it is also important to add a bit about the successes of the
IGF, perhaps including some of the information that is being collected
on the IGF's effect on the Internet ecosystem in its the first 9 years.
 As the IGF has been collecting this material, perhaps some examples can
be lifted from that effort/report.  I am not aware of the progress being
made on that report and whether it is available at this point.

Thanks to Stephanie and Jeanette for the start that was made.
