IGF 2021: NRIs Preparatory Process

IGF 2021 Planning process

The NRIs are collaboratively implementing the agreed annual workplan. 
The preparatory process is implemented through a bottom-up, consultative process among all NRIs. This process is usually carried out through virtual meetings, surveys and open, written consultations through the NRIs mailing list. The final decisions are based on a consensus.
