point here, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Milton</st1:place></st1:City>.
However, as I understand it, at this point we are not putting any real “work”
or commitment into the workshop proposal, but brainstorming basic ideas. Interested
groups would continue/commit with the process after the next step by the
Secretariat. For the moment, it is quite an informal proposition, as I see it,
to measure the amount of interest and to facilitate groupings before much
energy is invested in the workshop design and planning. I think this is better
than developing a full workshop proposal only to be told that workshops will be
combined/not approved. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>It also allows for
suggestions/support for workshops by people who are not interested in
organizing them, but in attending them</span></b>. Personally, I see this
as an opportunity to ask for someone else to organize a workshop that I see as
necessary to help me and the IG situation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>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. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>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 thrown into a huge pot and re-sorted
into 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. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
