<font face="Arial">Hi everyone,<br>
This availability of (onsite) remote moderators for the workshops
is very important.<br>
<br>
If others are available, please let us know on this list so that
workshop organizers can find a remote moderator. The name of an
onsite remote moderator is required for the workshop proposal. If
you are willing, but unsure of the tasks required, don't worry:
there will be short training and guidelines provided.<br>
<br>
Please let us know if you you need a remote moderator, or if you
will be in Nairobi and are willing to volunteer as a remote
moderator for a workshop.<br>
<br>
You can also let Rafik, Raquel Gatto, Marilia Maciel, Bernard
Sadaaka, Charity or me know by private email as well.<br>
<br>
Thanks! Ginger<br>

<pre>I'm not proposing to do an actual consensus call poll over the three IGC
workshops, since they are not in the nature of statements and there is
room for many viewpoints within all of them, but this is a summary of
the status of our three workshop proposals so far, to which any more
suggestions or serious objections are invited. We also need volunteers
to co-organise and to serve as remote moderators as noted below.
These are listed here in the order they were proposed. We will be
submitting the workshop proposals by this Friday.
1. Reflection on the Indian proposal towards an IGF 2.0
As a participant in the CSTD's Working Group on Improvements to
the IGF, the Government of India recently provided a set of
"Proposed Improvements to IGF Outcomes, in Keeping with the UN
General Assembly Mandate". Although there was no consensus
around this proposal, the ten suggested improvements reflect
proposals that some other countries and other stakeholder groups
have also previously aired. It is also one of the only
relatively comprehensive written proposals on IGF outcomes to
emerge from the Working Group, and therefore provides a
convenient starting point for further discussion.
It was suggested in the proposal that the MAG identify key
questions for the IGF to deliberate upon, that a Working Group
for each issue develop background material on it, to be
considered by the IGF through workshops, a roundtable
discussion, and possible inter-sessional meetings, and that
discussion at the plenary level would result in an IGF report on
each issue that would be transmitted to the CSTD and other
relevant bodies for their action and feedback.
Since it was not possible for the CSTD Working Group to fully
discuss these suggestions, this workshop is intended to provide
a space to do so more fully. The workshop will provide an
opportunity for all stakeholders to consider the merits of the
proposals as well as their shortcomings, and consider whether
and how to take such proposals forward.
Sponsors: IGC, others TBC (possibly ISOC Chennai)
Organisers for IGC: Jeremy Malcolm and Marilia Maciel
Remote moderator: TBC (volunteer needed!)
Speakers: TBC
2. Mapping Internet Governance
This workshop will explore where and how Internet Governance
decisions are currently taken. What are the relevant fora and
decision-making bodies? In what topic areas do they make
decisions and with what kinds of impacts? How can individuals
and stakeholder organizations make sure that their viewpoints
and concerns are appropriately taken into consideration?
Besides having a discussion of these topics in Nairobi, the
workshop aims at initiating a multistakeholder process for
creating a document "Map of Internet Governance" which addresses
these questions, and for thereafter keeping this document
up-to-date.
Sponsors: IGC, others TBC
Organisers for IGC: Nobert Bollow (another needed!)
Remote moderator: TBC (volunteer needed!)
Speakers: TBC
3. A possible framework for global Net Neutrality
Network Neutrality has been one of the hottest Internet public
policy issues in many countries, over the last year; US's
Federal Communications Commission came out with NN guidelines
that built over an agreement between two principal corporate
players in the area, EU has bene conducting a pulbic hearing on
the issue, French telecom regulatory authority have come out
with a set of NN proposals and recommendations, Brazil a
drafting a new civil rights framework for the Internet of which
NN is an important issue. Earlier, in 2009, Norway came out with
a much acclaimed set of NN guidelines.
In the background, since Internet is essentially a global
network and finally there must be common global norms on whether
content can be prioritised across global digital highways
including across global interconnection points) on payments by
the content providers or not. Interesting, cross border network
neutrality is a subject being dealt with by an experts committee
on the Council of Europe. If we do not start talking about
global norms, taking into consideration the interests and
viewpoints of all involved, we will eventually be faced by a
default regime of global traffic flows which will be whatever
gets decided by the key economic powers. This is undemocratic
way of subjecting the global public to the political choices of
a few, most powerful. On the other hand, it is also true that
even in the more powerful nations, policy making in this area
may become hostage to the interests of multinational digital
corporations at the cost of the national public interest. It it
therefore of considerable value even for the more powerful
countries to seek global norms on NN.
The proposed workshop will explore the emerging progressive
regimes in different countries and explore the possibility of
coming up with a common set of global norms on NN.
