Suggestions and Recommendation for Nepal IGF:
1. The Session format needs to be restructured with more discussion times and less lecture panels.
In few of the sessions, it was seen that the presenters were not prepared and had given less
focus toward the proposal guidelines and the session was just limited to lecturing the
participants.
2. The standard code of conduct needs to be practiced
3. Nepal IGF needs to adopt more open and transparent communication
4. Logistic was a huge challenge in terms of smaller things of management of session and speakers
time
