IGF 2025 NRIs Preparatory Process

The NRIs are collaboratively working on developing their 2025 work plan, building on the last year's work.  
The preparatory process is implemented through a bottom-up, consultative process among all NRIs. This process is usually done through virtual meetings, surveys and open, written consultations through the NRIs mailing list. The final decisions are based on a consensus.
