Here is some more information about the Idea Rating Sheets activity
from the Best Bits João Pessoa meeting.<br>
<br>
Apologies that because presentations in the previous session overran
considerably, we couldn't properly complete the Idea Rating Sheets
in the following session. Nonetheless to my pleasant surprise, even
though we had to compress that activity into less than a quarter of
the time that it was meant to occupy, we still received an amazing
32 ideas. A few people were able to rate those ideas using the
paper Idea Rating Sheets before we closed, but for those who didn't,
you have the opportunity to do so using digitised versions that I
have uploaded as a questionnaire here:<br>

<br>
Most of them are ideas for strategies to wrest back control of
Internet policy issues from closed trade negotiations; but a few
ideas are on broader topics (which is fine, because the original
plan if we'd had more time was to seek ideas on a range of Internet
governance reforms and innovations).<br>
<br>
This activity was just a taste for an upcoming invitation-only
meeting in Brussels on January 27-28, 2016, at which we will be
hosting
private expert dialogue to work on possible reforms to processes of
trade negotiation that bear on these Internet-related issues, that
would bring them in line with norms of transparency and public
participation, drawn in part from the discourse surrounding Internet
governance. If you would like to apply to participate at this event
and believe that you have expertise to contribute, we welcome you to
express your interest. Some travel funding is available for those
in need. More information and a registration form for expressing
interest in attending are available here:<br>
