The concept of Dynamic Coalitions and a number of coalitions were established as a result of the first IGF meeting in Athens. These coalitions are informal, issue-specific groups comprising members of various stakeholder groups.

Most Dynamic Coalitions allow collaboration of anyone interested in contributing to their discussions.

The requirements for formulating a Dynamic Coalition:

To formulate a dynamic coalition it is suggested that the initiators first hold a meeting and express the needs for creating such coalition. They are required to make a written statement which should outline:

1. The necessity of creating the dynamic coalition
2. An Action Plan
3. A mailing list
4. The contact person
5. Representatives from at least three stakeholder groups

It is also recommended to illustrate the support of stakeholder groups in creating the dynamic coalition. Whilst not compulsory, setting up a webpage or a blog is highly recommended.

If you are planning to create a dynamic coalition, please register.

IGF secretariat will review the request carefully and will inform you of the result.
