<br>
<a href="http://igcaucus.org:9001/p/IGF_12_Workshop_Proposal_A" target="_blank">http://igcaucus.org/9001/p/IGF_12_Workshop_Proposal_A</a><br>
<br>
The deadline for submission is tomorrow, Apr 20, and, I tried<br>
to accommodate most comments and suggestions already.<br>
<br>
So this is sort of "final call". If you still have comments and/or<br>
suggestions, please send to the list or directly to me asap.<br>
I will make final edit tomorrow evening and will submit.<br>
<br>
Please also understand that I have contacted other host/panel<br>
people, and they may ask last-minute changes, mostly of minor<br>
nature, and I will not have time to consult every details to this<br>
list. I do hope you all understand this.<br>

Proposal for IGF Workshop<br>
<br>
Question 1: Title of proposed workshop.<br>
Quo Vadis IGF – or Evolution of IGF<br>
<br>
Question 2: Please provide a concise description of the proposed workshop.<br>
IGF is now in the second phase and “improvements” are mandated by the<br>
UN General Assembly. To fill this mandate, CSTD Working Group to the<br>
Improvement of the IGF was established in 2010 and tasked to publish<br>
its report by March 2011. The WG came up with the final report in<br>
March 2012. This report will be presented to the CSTD Session in May<br>
and further discussions are scheduled to take place at UN ECOSOC and<br>
General Assembly.<br>
This workshop will examine the substance of the CSTD WG Report and<br>
share different views by different actors on the IGF improvements and<br>
their implementations. It will discuss the following major issues:<br>
Shaping the Outcome of IGF Meetings, Working Modalities, and Funding<br>
among others.<br>
Though the basic nature of IGF as a non-binding forum has not been<br>
challenged, the WG Report proposes to enhance the impact of the IGF,<br>
with outcome documentation that includes messages that map out<br>
converging and diverging opinions on given questions clearly. On<br>
Funding, the WG could not reach full consensus: with Civil Society<br>
proposing more robust funding including the use of UN regular budget,<br>
while some others supported to stay with the current voluntary<br>
funding.<br>
How the actual “improved” IGF remain relevant will be the central<br>
focus of this workshop.<br>
<br>
Question 3:<br>
Taking stock and Way Forward<br>
Question 3a:?<br>
Taking Stock and the Way Forward in general, but not to the specific<br>
main theme questions.<br>

Question 4:<br>
Yes<br>
