One of the panels is on ICANN accountability and the other session is about ICANN privacy issues (details below).</div><div><br></div><div>There will be remote participation available for these workshops, so I hope those who won't be in Istanbul for IGF will still consider dialing-in and joining the discussion via Rafik and David. Should be some lively discussions!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Robin</div><div><br></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><b>IGF 2014 Workshop #23:</b> <i><b>"Accountability at the ICANN Multistakeholder Governance Regime"</b></i></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><b>Wednesday 3 September from 9:00 - 10:30 am EEST</b> </font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;
