Chairman’s draft recommendations on the basis of the consolidated version of the rolling document

The CSTD Working Group on Improvements to the IGF recognizes the need to improve the format of IGF outcomes to ensure its impact on global internet governance policy issues; recalls the importance of the non-binding and non-duplicative process of the IGF which should be maintained and reflected in IGF outcomes; underlines the full diversity of opinions on policy issues of the IGF multi-stakeholders community; further underlines the potential impact of IGF outcomes on outreach and cooperation and subsequently on global internet governance policies with improved communication tools and strategy; recommends to 1. develop more tangible and robust outputs  The IGF should continue to produce its current reports, including the Chairman's report, the sessions' transcripts, the workshops reports and the overall proceedings, to which additional more focused documentation should be added to improve communication and the impact of the results of IGF discussions.  New ways should be found to extract the outcomes of discussions at the IGF, for example, in the form of concrete messages. These messages could map out consensus or diverging opinions on a given theme, and capture the range of policy options available.  To focus discussions, the preparation process of each IGF should formulate a set of questions and objectives to be considered at the IGF, as part of the overall discussions. The results of the debates on these questions should be specifically stated in an outcome document to be prepared by pre-assigned rapporteurs to be identified by the MAG. They may be consensual answers to questions or the expression of the different views presented when consensus does not emerge. 2. improve the visibility of IGF outcomes and its accessibility with enhanced IGF communication strategy and tools
