<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi Janna<br>
<br>
That is a useful initiative.<br>
<br>
May I suggest you ask another question.<br>
<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">How is IGF going
to change the world... I mean, really 'how', pl give a bit of step by
step reasoning. </font><br>
<br>
</blockquote>
and maybe also<br>
<br>
<blockquote>What is the Internet primarily to you - a market space, a
space for social interactions, a means of information and knowledge, a
possibility towards a better, more fair and just world, a space for
fantasy, a space that is other than the 'real world', a space that
enhances the 'real world' ...... may be a couple of other options.
(What is the Internet to the people of course has an important bearing
on how it should be governed.)<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><br>
</blockquote>
May give some useful insights. Thanks, and regards. Parminder <br>

<br>
The Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University is sending four
participants to IGF-Vilnius, where we are backing a number of workshops
and DCs. Elon undergraduates Drew Smith, Sam Baranowski and Kirsten
Bennett will be participating in four different workshops, and the
leader of our delegation, Dr. Glenn Scott, a professor at Elon, will
also be participating as a speaker at the meeting of the Dynamic
Coalition for Core Values.<br>
<br>
Our team will also be quite busy collecting interviews, photos and
video to post at <font color="#0000ff"><u><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.imaginingtheinternet.org">http://www.imaginingtheinternet.org</a></u></font>.
They hope you will take the opportunity to participate in the
IGF-Vilnius video survey. To get an idea of how it works, you can look
at last year’s results here: <br>

We are proud to say that the US Library of Congress, our national
repository for knowledge, has begun adding the content of Imagining the
Internet to its digital archive. The contributions you make in
participating in our surveys are being documented not only to help
inspire people to think about the future today and inform policy but
also to serve as a historic record of our time as we work together to
achieve the best evolution possible for human communications and
cooperation.<br>
<br>
We are still in the process of deciding what questions to ask this
year. If you would like to make suggestions, you can send them to me by
replying to this e-mail.<br>
<br>
Here are some questions that have been proposed as possibilities for
this year’s survey so far:<br>
