The Multistakeholder Working Group: The PNE's work is facilitated by a dedicated multistakeholder working group of experts that gather and assess best practices and provides recommendations. Its members include leading intergovernmental and international organisations, UN member states, parliaments, research academic institutions, leading private sector companies and representatives of technical communities, national, regional and youth IGFs (NRIs) and other stakeholders whose work is relevant for the PNE.
The broad stakeholder community: The PNE is supposed to be a gathering point for all those interested to contribute to the matter with their expertise and experience. With advice from dedicated co-facilitators of the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG), it will also work closely with the existing networks of the IGF, such as the Dynamic Coalitions, Best Practice Forums, National Regional, Sub-Regional and Youth IGF initiatives, as well as all other stakeholders, including the session organisers and IGF annual meeting participants. Stakeholders that are not traditionally involved in the IGF process and have an interest in this topic are particularly encouraged to actively participate. The PNE will have close linkages with the IGF 2021 high-level and parliamentary tracks.
All interested stakeholders are invited to subscribe to a dedicated mailing list ([email protected]), through which all relevant information will be communicated. The process for gathering inputs is bottom-up, open and continuous throughout the IGF 2021 preparatory process. Inputs are gathered through the resources of the working group in addition to a community’s input. Working group meetings from July 2021 onwards are open to the community for a broader discussion. The community is able to communicate inputs through different outreach forms, ranging from surveys, monthly webinars and online meetings, bilateral meetings etc.
