Subject: [governance] Status of IGF workshop proposals

Of our three workshop proposals, it seems that two received a provisional green light at the open planning meeting yesterday.  These were "Transnational (or trans-border) enforcement of a new information order – Issues of rights and democracy" (56), and "Revolutionary Internet Governance Ideas that can help change the Developing World" (54).  These are to be organised by Parminder and Fouad respectively, both of whom have been asked to give a list of panelists.

No mention was made at the meeting of "Successes and failures of Internet governance, 1995 - 2010, and looking forward to WSIS 2015" (55), which may mean that this won't be accepted as a workshop for Vilnius, unless it can be merged with another workshop.  On the other hand, only five workshop slots under the "Critical Internet Resources" heading were singled out, and there are room for seven.  We should know for sure by the end of the month.
