Hello Jovan! Yes I have been silent... offline life can be very demanding too, hehehe. The insights you described are really interesting! Few years ago the APC Women's Network Support Programme (APC WNSP) did a research on the WSIS impact in relation to gender and women's rights at national level. It seems, if I am not wrong,they got a similar results, I mean at national level they found a very poor results/actions addressing gender equality and women1s rights liked to information society, ICTs etc. Gender was one of the items included int he questionnaire of IGF impact research... hummm now I am even more curious to see the results of Diplo research ;-)

Hi Magaly! Long time not hearing from you. Are you going to be in Sharm? About the research on the Impact of the IGF..... It is realistic to describe it as the start of the research on this issue. In a very short time for research (15th September - 15th October) we managed to get a few interesting insights. One is that the dissemination of the IGF knowledge is better on local than on national levels. There is a better link between global (IGF) and local (communities, universities, NGOs) than between global (IGF) and national. I did a quick review of other multistakeholder initaitives (e.g. health, water) and it seems that there is a similar pattern (global - local).
