<div>Dear Parminder and All:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In response re discussion of reporting IGF-II, and in particular in the sense of individual sources of reporting, I plan coverage in person and/or by WEB from the *Respectful Interfaces* approach / platform, and if useful to others that will be great.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In all forms of <em>people assembling</em> (verb) and toward broadening <em>Peoples Assemblies</em> (noun), there will doubtless emerge a pool of shared observations, to which we can look forward eagerly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Very best wishes and of course *Respectfully Interfacing,* LDMF.</div>

governance@lists.cpsr.org</a><br>Subject: [governance] Reporting from the IGF<br><br>All,<br><br>I was wondering whether we should try to get organized to prepare civil<br>society reports about what happens at the IGF. It would be good to keep
<br>track of what is said in the main sessions and in as many workshops as<br>possible, even if briefly, so that all our efforts in organizing<br>workshops and pushing our themes do not get lost. So in the end we could<br>
produce a small "civil society IGF report" to use both to spread news to<br>other CS groups that did not attend, and to provide a record of the<br>discussions... and of the nice commitments by other stakeholders that
<br>then often vanish just after the meeting :)<br><br>Would this be a good idea? Of course it would need to rely on many of us<br>volunteering to produce reports, possibly avoiding to have people<br>reporting on their own events, to make it more reliable. But I'm curious
<br>to see whether others find this a good idea.<br><br>Regards,<br>--<br>vb. Vittorio Bertola - vb [a] bertola.eu <--------<br>--------> finally with a new website at <a href="http://bertola.eu/">
