Hello all,<br>
<br>
<div class="moz-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>
<br>
