<div><div><div dir="auto">Hi Sylvia </div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Sure. I will make some suggestions when I get the time. One suggestion would be to adopt new evaluation processes and discard an over a decade old assessment deliberation . The other is reducing the size of MAG, stronger representation but with less people. </div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I disagree that MAG did not receive proposals that accorded with the issues the public submitted. I see from a chart that 17 percent of the suggested issues were about accessibility and digital inclusion, MAG raceived 13 percent of overall proposals with that regard and chose 32 percent ( almost double) of All the workshops considering digital inclusivity and access. As Someone from a developing country I Can't stop thinking that: policy issues that affect rights to access such as content regulation are as important as digital inclusion and sometimes even more important. You can have all the infrastructure, diverse language...but then in the end someone keeps removing your content. A bot, an AI tool etc. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Media and content, cybersecurity all were issues that were proposed, workshops submitted about but MAG didn't take many of them into account. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Some of the trouble is the nature of collective work and difficult to carry out. So I think we can't just keep criticizing but there needs to be fundamental changes in MAG and IGF in general. Changes they have been calling for since many years ago. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Yes I agree, IGF is about broad public policy issues. Do I see that in this program? I rarely come across workshops that discuss real policy issues.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I hope some of these comments can be useful :) <br></div><div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Aug 6, 2018 at 11:50 PM Sylvia Cadena <<a href="mailto:sylvia@apnic.net" target="_blank">sylvia@apnic.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">To be fair, RightsCon is a conference about “human rights in the digital age", so it is only logic that most if not all their program focuses on those issues, while the IGF mandate
is broader focusing on “public policy issues relating to the Internet” so its program although it might include discussion around human rights and the Internet, it will also cover other topics.
