Thank you Jeremy for being supportive of this idea. I appreciate your<br>
concern over the workshop that we proposed.<br>
<br>
Just to share some of my perspectives on this workshop and how I came<br>
around this subject. Currently, this workshop stands as an approved<br>
feeder workshop in to the main session on IG4D - Internet Governance<br>
For Development. Yes that makes it very critical. It is an open space<br>
and not a limited space otherwise I would have never proposed it<br>
because I am not a proponent of locking down discussion spaces that<br>
are critical to development.<br>
<br>
We should note that the workshop idea is its power for being accepted<br>
because none of the workshops in all the schedule provide such an<br>
innovation where everyone can participate and that is why there has<br>
been hardly any objections against it. There are a few important<br>
aspects that I would like to include that this is what many of us from<br>
the developing world have wanted to have an open and free discussion<br>
on IG and this will be the opportunity to create that open space.<br>
<br>
I would not be supportive of the suggestion to include panellists<br>
since that would limit the creativity and idea sharing aspects of the<br>
workshop.This I believe is the opportunity in this workshop. The name<br>
revolutionary was dropped because I must agree that it wasn't doing<br>
justice to the topic. It now stands as "Innovative Internet Governance<br>
Ideas and Approaches - An Open Discussion Space" thus clearly<br>
explaining its objective that also creates an innovation opportunity<br>
for future IGF workshops.<br>
<br>
This can develop itself to be an important feeding opportunity without<br>
being locked down to the type of stakeholder participation. It is an<br>
opportunity for anyone and everyone to share their ideas or briefly<br>
what changed their countries both developed and developing.<br>
<br>
As a matter of rule decided initially, no one gets the mic or floor<br>
for more than 5 mins and at 4.5 mins, the speaker will be notified.<br>
<br>
On the participation side, everyone is encouraged to invite as many<br>
people as possible. I am going to undertake significant efforts to get<br>
a good diversity of voices to this workshop. I will try to bring in as<br>
many youth as possible. I will also be requesting various Latin<br>
American, African, South Asian, Asia Pacific, Australian, European and<br>
Canadian youth, legislators and civil society people to join us.<br>
<br>
I will also be talking with Rafik and the Child Net project to get the<br>
12 youth coming from their program to be part of our workshop. I will<br>
also try to contact ISOC and include the Next Generation Leader<br>
Program Members and the IGF Ambassadors, the grantees of the<br>
Commonwealth IGF Secretariat Bursaries and the DiploFoundation EU<br>
graduation class to be part of this workshop. I will also request the<br>
youth remote participation team and Ginger to help me in this process.<br>
This will create the opportunity to atleast have confirmed speaking<br>
opportunities during the workshop and record taking.<br>
<br>
Secondly, I will try to invite a young EU parliamentarian from the<br>
Swedish Pirate Party, the 22-year-old Pirate politician:<br>
<a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2010/05/start/amelia-andersdotter-the-22-year-old-pirate-politician?page=all" target="_blank">http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2010/05/start/amelia-andersdotter-the-22-year-old-pirate-politician?page=all</a><br>
that had appeared in the IGF Open Consultations this week and if she<br>
has both the time and opportunity to participate, she will be a very<br>
important value addition to this workshop.<br>
<br>
So these are my current thoughts as I arrive back home.<br>
