[Chapter-delegates] [Survey on IGF] DiploFoundation Begins Research Survey on the Impact of the IGF

[Constance Bommelaer]

Dear Colleagues,

 

DiploFoundation has started a research survey on the impact of the IGF and
would welcome as many feedback from professionals worldwide involved with
the IGF process as possible. As you know, ISOC has been a strong supporter
of the IGF, and we are on record supporting its continuation.

 

This is not an ISOC initiative but one where you might want to participate
given the chapters positive responses to our own surveys. Also, considering
ISOC's engagement in the IGF process, and that ISOC members and Ambassadors
play an important role in this Forum, we believe your inputs would be highly
valuable: http://www.diplomacy.edu/display.asp?Topic=IGF-impact

 

The consultation is open until end of October and its results will be
presented at the IGF in Sharm El Sheikh, November 15.

 

Best,

Constance

 

 

DiploFoundation Begins Research Survey on the Impact of the IGF

                                     

The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) process is a direct result of the UN
World Summit on the Information Society. It offers a forum for developing
discussions about Internet Governance in a multistakeholder environment
which allows for not only cross-border but cross-stakeholder sharing on an
equal basis of partners from governments, civil society, business, academia
and the technical community.
 

The fourth IGF will take place in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt in November, 2009.
As it enters its fourth iteration, the IGF is undergoing a process of review
and evaluation, which makes a survey of its impact particularly relevant and
important. DiploFoundaton has recently begun a research survey to identify
this impact. This information will be valuable for all stakeholders to
consider as best practices, examples or what has worked, and where we need
to focus our efforts to improve.
 

The process of developing and analyzing the results of this survey will be
conducted by DiploFoundation and other partners, supported by a grant from
AT&T. The project aims to collect a wide range of responses to
questionnaires in two formats: an
<http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=y7VRGPKsJUE2fJie_2bX2eaA_3d_3d>
online survey which will provide input for a statistical analysis of trends
in impact (), and an interview survey of stakeholders from government, civil
society, business, academia and host countries which will form the basis for
a narrative report. The interviews and questionnaire will also collect
recommendations for future enhancements of the IGF and related activities.
This information will be valuable for all stakeholders to consider as best
practices, examples of what has worked, and where we need to focus our
efforts to improve. The project will be conducted during September and
October, 2009, with the release of a report at the IGF in Sharm El Sheikh,
November 15, 2009.
