<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=926411514-23032009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>My problem at this stage is that I (and, I suspect, many
others) are basically frozen in place by Bertrand's suggestion (statement?) that
the method of workshop planning and development will be completely different
this year. I am surprised that there has been no response to my expressed
concerns about this, and until there is some clarification or discussion of
those basic parameters, I think it is unwise to invest time in developing
workshops. Indeed, I am not even sure I would plan to attend the IGF if
certain worst-case scenarios play out. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=926411514-23032009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>We have been told, in effect, "don't develop a detailed,
coherent program for a workshop and don't line up any people, because whatever
idea you have is going to be treated as a general "theme" and then

MAG-defined groups." And those groups may be a bunch of people who hardly know
each other with different, sometimes conflicting agendas. If I am not correctly
apprehending the meaning of those changes please correct me. In the
meantime, I await an appropriate response. </FONT></SPAN></DIV><!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
