<font face="serif">Regarding proposed workshop one, since
'revolutionary' is normally not associated with 'governance', may I
suggest that we just look at 'Key IG issues that specifically impact
developing countries most" or something like that. It will more or less
constitute the 'development agenda in IG' or 'IG for development',
which is a main session theme. So this workshop could kind of prepare
us towards the main session.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
regarding proposed workshop two<br>
<br>
the stock taking session this time would not visit the proceedings of
the ongoing IGF, as has been the practise so far, but visit the
general IG scene over the last five years of IGF's existence. So this
proposed IGF workshop too can prepare us towards this main session.<br>

Sorry for letting this slide for a while; I've been away. Anyway, there is very little I would change in Fouad's workshop proposal, but here are the two workshop proposals that are currently on the table for discussion, the second one now fleshed out a bit. Please provide any comments on these so that we can submit them both for the MAG's consideration by the 15th.
WORKSHOP 1
==========
Title: Revolutionary Internet Governance Ideas that can help change the Developing World
Objective:
A workshop that provides stakeholders the opportunity to share positive ideas for stimulating socio-economic change in the developing world utilizing the Internet. This will be a venue for both developed and developing world participants. An example may be the ideas presented by Tim Berners-Lee at TED for Opening Data to the world that helped in providing concrete relief information on the ground during the Haiti earthquake crisis. Another idea may be Google's mapping of the Sudan crisis.
With the participation of all stakeholders, including youth, the workshop will record the many positive ideas that evolve from this venue, measure the changes that they have enabled over time, and at the next IGF meeting identify which ideas had the greatest impact over the past 12 months since presented.
Format:
A round table open to all participants of the workshop. The format will be 5 minutes given to each of the participants to share an existing or revolutionary idea. The Internet governance dimensions of each idea will also be explored. All the ideas will be recorded and categorized under various topics for measurement of impact over the following year.
Organisers:
Internet Governance Caucus

WORKSHOP 2
==========
Title: Successes and failures of Internet governance, 1995 - 2010, and looking forward to WSIS 2015
Objective:
This workshop will compare the changing institutional and procedural approaches that have been applied to the problems of Internet governance over the last 15 years, and facilitate the sharing of various perspectives about the effectiveness and legitimacy of each approach. In each case reference will be made to the WSIS process criteria which recommend the full involvement of governments, the private sector, civil society, and international organizations in Internet governance arrangements.
In parallel, the workshop will also look back to the period of 2003-2005 when the first meetings of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was held, and forward to a future meeting in 2015. Questions to be asked include, would the same decisions about Internet governance that were made in 2005 have been made today, are the WSIS process criteria due for revision, and how will the role of private actors differ between the two summits?
Format:
The workshop will take a interactive panel format, beginning with brief presentations from experts from each of the stakeholder groups (including academia), followed by a moderated between panelists and the floor.
Organisers:
Internet Governance Caucus
