This is an update on the status of the IGC-sponsored workshops for
the 2011 meeting of the IGF.<br>
<br>
1. <span class="cf_text">Reflection on the Indian proposal towards
an IGF 2.0 (coordinators Jeremy Malcolm and </span>Marília
Maciel). Workshop details: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mini.me.my/10">http://mini.me.my/10</a>. Approved, and the
competing proposals from ICC/BASIS and ISOC are now to be merged
separately. Progress is good, but we are still waiting to nail down
speakers from the Indian and/or Brazilian governments.<br>
<br>
2. Mapping Internet Governance (coordinator Norbert Bollow).
Workshop details: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mini.me.my/16">http://mini.me.my/16</a>. Formerly "Pending", now
"Approved". Norbert has set up a website and mailing list for
development of a draft map to be discussed at this workshop, and
Consumers International has provided some funding support. All
systems go! See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://idgovmap.org/">http://idgovmap.org/</a>.<br>
<br>
3. <span class="cf_text">A possible framework for global Net
Neutrality
</span> (coordinator Parminder Jeet Singh). Workshop details:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mini.me.my/19">http://mini.me.my/19</a>. Not approved and currently in "Pending"
state. The Secretariat stated that the grounds for not approving
were lack of stakeholder balance (unfortunate that this couldn't
have been related at an earlier stage!). This is being addressed
and the workshop awaits reconsideration.<br>
<br>
Anyone who wishes to help with any of the above IGC-sponsored
workshops, please make contact with the respective workshop
coordinators. Thanks!<br>
