Dear Colleagues,

IGF Policy Options
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/policy-options-for-connection-the-next-billion>
and Best Practices <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/best-practice-forums>
are part of an effort this year for the IGF to develop more tangible
outputs, supporting broader tracks (e.g. SDGs, WSIS+10) while leveraging
the global network of IGFs that are held on all continents.

During last week's Open Consultations and MAG meeting, the IGF community
agreed on the draft skeleton of the "*IGF Policy Options for Connecting the
Next Billion*", available
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aogcq3iqzBRKTRSQlGAuSRvMi8c4rF1GgASoK5vhQbk/edit>
here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aogcq3iqzBRKTRSQlGAuSRvMi8c4rF1GgASoK5vhQbk/edit>.


*ASK*: All interested stakeholders are invited to:

   - *Join the open-ended editorial group* formed to develop the document
   ahead of IGF Brazil by signing-up to this mailing list
   <http://mail.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/intersessional_2015_intgovforum.org>.

   - *Send additional background contributions* by using this form
   <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/policy-options-for-connection-the-next-billion/contributions>,
   or by writing to gutterman at un.org by 3 Oct. (contributions from
   national/regional IGFs and Best Practices Forums are welcome on an ongoing
   basis). They will feed into the next version of the document and will all
   appear with due attribution on the IGF website
   <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/policy-options-for-connection-the-next-billion/list-of-contributions>.


*Next steps:*
The IGF Secretariat will be working in the coming weeks on editing the
introduction and developing the various sections of the skeleton on the
basis of contributions received. A new draft will be made available for the
consideration of the open-ended editorial group around 21 Sept.

Further information on the methodology and the timeline can be found here
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/policy-options-for-connection-the-next-billion#about>.


Please disseminate this call for background contributions throughout your
networks.

Thank you and best regards,

Constance Bommelaer
