Bill, if the dynamic coalition idea was taken up it would not be
necessary to identify anyone specifically to talk to.

What would certainly take more time and what would need direct
conversation with the Secretariat would be how to establish links
between the NMI project data base, solutions map, and efforts to capture
best practice in IG, and the recent effort to coordinate capacity building.

But again I think these linkages can be mostly self-organised by people
involved in the NMI, people in the IGF community and other interested
persons.

Once we know about the post-inaugural situation we’d be in a better position to get into this, i.e. in Brussels.

I don’t know if items like the funding platform would be viable in this context, but perhaps.  Either way, I thought that if one tries to formally import any of these operational activities from the outside into the IGF structure from a full stop with no discussion it would be difficult, but if there was a DC that percolated the work and built broader buy in within the IGF community perh

bits could later migrate over time.
