To: NCSG-DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



Dear colleagues and fellow stakeholders of the Internet Governance Forum:
This is further to our message of September 4th, portions of which follow:

At the 9th meeting of the Internet Governance Forum, various stakeholders
discussed their common desire to request an immediate extension of the IGF
mandate, in order to create stabiity for the organization and
predictability for those engaged in seeking funding for projects. We have
drafted a statement to send to the UN, to request not just an immediate
renewal of the IGF mandate, but rather an open-ended re-authorization of
the IGF as a voluntary, multistakeholder forum. We request that other
participants in the IGF also support this message on or before November 1.
 .......
