<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Hi All</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The good news from the IGF MAG is that all the three
workshops sponsored by the IGC, and one co-sponsored by it, have cleared the
pre-selection process, and in my reading, are almost certain to get slots at
the IGF. </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">They are now green color coded in the workshops list and the
secretariat's communication says that "The green category indicates
workshops, which will be allocated a slot at the IGF in Hyderabad."</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The three workshops being sponsored by the IGF are</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<ol style="margin-top: 0in;" start="1" type="1">
<li><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Internet for All - Exploring a
Rights-based Approach</span></font></li>
</ol>

Jurisdiction, Control and Sovereignty</span></font></li>

<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">And the one being co-sponsored with the IGP is "The
Future of ICANN: After the JPA, What?".</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The Secretariat communication does add a cautionary note</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">"Please note that this is not a final assessment, but
rather a work in progress. The list is a 'positive list' of workshop proposals
which offer solid prospects for staging interesting and successful events. We
have not drawn up a 'negative list' of proposals we are rejecting. All
workshops still stand a chance of being chosen."</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">And that</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">"The selection process will be finalized at the next
MAG Meeting in September, taking into account the discussions during the Open
Consultations."</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">But I think the workshops are thorough, in all likelihood. We
should now prepare for them intensely. It will be good to have a discussion on
this list on each workshop topic as a separate thread. The working groups also
need to get more active to finalize format and speakers and share it with the
members.</span></font></p>
