Thank you Waudo. <br>

The second committee of the general assembly negotiated the final
version of the draft resolution (see attached) that focuses on the
renewal of the mandate of the IGF. Consultations have been taking
place in New York on the margins of the general assembly and the
final text on the IGF is expected to be adopted in December to be
forwarded to the GA plenary for consideration and adoption <br>
<br>
This final draft resolution contains a provision that would see the
extension of the IGF for a further 5 years, inviting the secretary
general to convene a Multi-stakeholder IGF.<br>
