[At-Large] Call for Public Input on Phase II of the Intercessional Theme :Policy Options for Connecting the Next Billion Deadlines

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro]

Dear All



This is to invite *all* who are interested to disseminate the attached Call
for Public Input
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/policy-options/799-2016-cenb-call-for-contributions-11-july-2016-2>
on
Phase II of the intersessional theme '*Policy Options for Connecting and
Enabling the Next Billion**'*.



This call is based on the framework document
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/policy-options/796-connectingthenextbillion-framework-phase-ii-v7>
which
was developed with the generous assistance of various stakeholders over the
past few months. In this document, both the need for emphasizing national
and regional specificities, as well as the importance of investigating the
ways in which connecting and enabling more users can help support the new
sustainable development goals (SDGs) were stressed.



All IGF stakeholders, as well as leaders of IGF initiatives, including best
practice forums (BPFs), dynamic coalitions (DCs) and workshop sessions are
encouraged to contribute to this important initiative, which will help pave
the way to IGF 2016 <http://www.igf2016.mx/> in Guadalajara, Mexico, in
December this year.



While all contributions will be welcomed, a proposed format for submissions
is contained in the attached Call for Input. Kindly send all input to Anri
van der Spuy (avanderspuy at unog.ch) and Brian Gutterman (gutterman at un.org).


Kindly note that whilst the IGF Secretariat deadline is 31st July, 2016 the
Secretariat will continue to receive contributions on a rolling basis until
31st August, 2016.


Kind Regards,

Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro
