that the IGF will put its name on this. In the past I've failed to
generate much interest here on city-TLDs, but would appreciate any and all
levels of contributions to the proposal. And that extends to locating the
"right panelists." In my early search in this regard my ideal
candidate informed me that her first day of class is September 14, and that she
is therefore not available. I hope this is not a global problem
for participants from academia. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I'm a bit
unsure of the thrust of your closing paragraph, so will provide two answers. I
support the 3 workshop proposals as recently posted, and we would be honored to
have our organization listed as a sponsor. As to the future of our
proposal: I was encouraged to pursue it in correspondence that resulted
from my recent attendance at Under-Secretary-General Sha's IGF briefing at
the U.N. So if it's not supported here, I would explore other channels for its
submission. But I would be delighted to work with IGC to more fully develop and
present this workshop proposal, and I would be deeply honored if we were to be
one of many IGC organizations supporting it.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

spent a decade working toward the time when TLDs would become available to
cities, and with the time of their arrival (possibly) at hand, little guidance
has been made available to those interested in developing TLDs that
serve the interest of city residents and organizations. I'd like to draw
on the wisdom of the list in formulating a proposal on city-TLD best practices
and governance for the IGF's Vilnius Conference. I think the recent McTim
thread "privatizing cc TLDs" primed the discussion on this issue.</span><span
