Hello Ian<br><br>Role of Governments in IG is an interesting topic and needs to be discussed. But in the context of multi-stakeholderism, why would the Caucus single out Government and propose a theme "Role of Governments in IG" ?<br>
<br>This moves the role of Governments center stage with the roles of other stakeholder groups undiscussed. <br><br>It would be more appropriate if the workshop is about the Role of various stakeholder groups, as a part of which, the role of Governments is debated.<br>

<p dir="ltr"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I also agree this is a
good proposal. There are three dimensions –</span></font></p>

<p dir="ltr"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">On the former – I know
how this is organized at a national level differs vastly from country to
country. Has anyone done a detailed study on this we could suggest for a panel?</span></font></p>
<p dir="ltr"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p dir="ltr"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Similarly on the latter two
– what are the current areas of international co-operation across various
organizations? Has anyone a good study on this?</span></font></p>
<p dir="ltr"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p dir="ltr"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">A couple of good
introductory studies would be the key to a successful workshop here.</span></font></p>

<p dir="ltr"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I think a WS on the role of Government in IG is
useful for the IGF, and for civil society to be the initiators. I see echoes of
this theme in current discussions of G7-G20, discussions of ICANN-GAC,
discussions of different actions of national governments, forum shopping, etc. </span></font></p>

<p dir="ltr"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This would spark an interesting discussion, indeed. But please do not<br>
equate "Internet Governance" with "ICANN" and only talk about the MAG and<br>
the JPA. ;-)</span></font></p>
