  Sujet : [wgig-discuss] Consultations on the convening of the
Internet Governance Forum
      À : wgig-discuss@wgig.org

Dear colleagues,

As you will recall, the Secretary-General was asked by the World Summit on
the Information Society (WSIS), held in Tunis last November, to convene in
an open and inclusive process an Internet Governance Forum (IGF) for
multi-stakeholder policy dialogue. I have been asked to organize
consultations on the convening of the IGF. They will take place in Geneva
on 16 and 17 February 2006 and will be chaired by Nitin Desai in his
capacity as the Secretary-General's Special Adviser for WSIS.

The meeting will take place in Room XVIII of the Palais des Nations.
Interpretation in all UN languages will be provided. The schedule on both
days is as follows: 10 -13 and 15 - 18 hours.

We have created a website to support this consultative process. More
details on the consultations, including a draft agenda, are available on
this website, which is still under construction: http://www.IntGovForum.org
.

Again, we encourage all stakeholders to submit written contributions as an
input into the consultations. Contributions will be posted on the same
website

We are aware that this meeting is called at unusually short notice and
apologize for it. We had originally planned to hold the consultations in
late February, but learned that all hotels were already fully booked in the
entire Geneva area at that time, because of the Geneva Motor Show which
opens on 2 March. The dates finally chosen were the only available
alternative on this side of the April holidays.

I hope to see many of you again on the occasion of these consultations.

Best regards

Markus
