The consultation will launch the next phase of the initiative that the Council of Europe, UNECE and APC launched at the second Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Rio de Janeiro. Previous work, which drew on experience in established IG bodies and elsewhere to develop thinking about best practice, was discussed at last year's May IGF consultation and in a workshop during the Hyderabad IGF, with platform participation from ISOC, ICANN and the NRO.

The next phase of work is built around mapping existing practice in key Internet governance entities. Based on an initial mapping exercise conducted by Professor David Souter, the project has identified a set of *principles* and *challenges* that will form the basis of the 13 May 2009 discussion.
