                <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>
