Not yet, but we keep being told that a decision may be imminent. It
seems likely to end up being held at a United Nations office (but
not Geneva again).<br>

<br>
<div class="m_-9146990576691313009moz-forward-container">This
year the IGF will be following a EuroDIG style
approach of initially calling for issues around which
sessions can be organized, before calling for workshop
proposals. If a call for workshop proposals is made
first, organizers have to prepare their proposal
without any guidance about priority issues for the
community.<br>
<br>
It has been a successful approach at EuroDIG and I
have supported trying it for the global IGF too, as it
will allow for better curation of the final program
and help to avoid the lack of focus and duplication
that has characterised previous IGFs.<br>
