<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial;">Hi Parminder,<br>
<br>
On the role and mandate workshop: Having done it last year, I don't
think it's right for me to do it again, and anyway I'm in the
jurisdiction group. My suggestion would be that we get new blood
involved, people who've been active in the caucus, have thought a lot about
this, but can broker between different tendencies etc. Some obvious
convener candidates like Willie, Lee, others, come to mind if they'd be
interested... <br>
<br>
It may be that part of what's holding people back is the prospect of a
complicated and time consuming process, but in reality, this really
shouldn't be too hard. It's not necessary to renegotiate the
ws description from scratch and totally rethink the co-sponsors and speakers in
the next nine days. Last year's event went well and everyone seemed
to come away fairly happy (including some parties that fretted about it in
advance), so we seemingly established a certain level of trust and
understanding that the event is useful and won't blow up the joint.
I assume the MAG would expect to see a proposal for a v.2 from us (or
more to the point, would be rather surprised not to), and that we
shouldn't have to re-convince them too elaborately as long as we cross
the T's and dot the I's in terms of being MS with diverse views
etc. So why not resubmit largely the same text and reach out to the more
or less the same kinds of co-sponsors and non-CS speakers we had last year
(ICC/Ayesha, ISOC/Bill, developing country/India, developed country/EC, etc),
come up with three new IGC speakers with varying shades of positions, submit
whatever we have by April 30, and then add later as needed. <br>
<br>
BTW, for reference, the report on last year's version of the ws is now at

<br>
1. Role and mandate of the IGF<br>
<br>
Still looking for volunteers to convene and participate in WG. Karen and
Baudouin Schombe have expressed interest to participate. Anyone ready to
convene? . Someone from the group that did it last year? We have Bill and
Vittorio from the last year's group (Karen has said no to convening, and
I do not want to). If no one volunteers to convene in the next 24 hours, will
one of you please take up the task? In any case participation from the last
year's group will be good. <br>
<br>
2. Trans-boundary jurisdiction<br>
<br>
The WG is working<br>
<br>
3. 'The Future of ICANN: After the JPA, What?'<br>
</span></font><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>
<font color="navy"><span style="color: navy;">IGP/ Milton is going ahead with
planning this. They have asked again if anyone from the IGC will like to
participate and given suggestions. <br>
<br>
4. Rights based approach the Internet – Implications for IG<br>
<br>
A draft is being developed. <br>
<br>
As per the timeline given below, we will like to keep a draft for each proposal
for comments of the group from 23rd to 26th, and if good ground to propose a
consensus process is made out, it will be done over 27th – 29th. <br>
<br>
Since people are giving their valuable time to developing these proposals, it
will be good if members who have any comments on these proposals, and the
appropriateness of these being sponsored by the IGC, share them right away.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Hi All<br>
<br>
This is where we stand on our workshop proposals. <br>
</span></font></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Role and mandate of the IGF</span></font><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></li>
</ol>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>
The call is open for volunteers to convene and join this group. As Adam and
others said this should be a very useful exercise of evaluating the IGF at the
mid-point of its (expectedly, initial) 5 year life. We will need to build on
the work that got done for this workshop last year. As you know, we did hold a
workshop in the same topic last year and the proposal is that we make this a
regular IGF feature. <br>
<br>
Significantly, the IGF page listing the topic under which workshop proposals (<a href="http://www.intgovforum.org/workshop_info.htm" target="_blank">http://www.intgovforum.org/workshop_info.htm</a>
) may be given says; "Workshops on other issues relating to Internet
governance and the mandate of the IGF are also welcome." We seem to be
already in. I think this is an important impact of IGC's first ever
workshop on this topic last year, that it is now a part of the official list of
themes for workshops. <br>

As proposed earlier, in this slot it will be useful to put in the IGP workshop
proposal on 'The Future of ICANN: After the JPA, What?' Please see
Milton's email of the 17th on this. Any IGC member who wishes to work
with IGP group to develop/ influence this workshop proposal may write to Milton
(and/or me), and can become a part of a WG.<br>

discuss them in the IGC till the 26th and then put them for a consensus call.
