I hope this does not mean that the three focal points would be 3

Dear all
FYI here's a copy reflecting the current status of the discussions on
the draft for the preliminary workshop proposal.
Greetings,
Norbert
--snip----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Workshop working title (max 60 characters):
MS selection processes: Accountability and transparency
2. Concise description of broader thematic area of interest (max
500 characters):
>From lessons learnt to good practice:
It is intended that the workshop will be jointly convened by the
three non-governmental stakeholder groups in the IGF and used to
share experiences, raise concerns, and try and identify good
practice approaches on accountability and transparency. We could
also discuss the composition of these constituency groups,
including ambiguity of definition, and the challenges that arise at
times from overlaps between stakeholder categories.
3. Concise description of specific issues or policy questions to
be addressed (max 500 characters):
* What has worked or not worked in terms of how stakeholder groups
are defined and represented?
* What would constitute sufficient transparency, openness and
inclusion in such processes? (What are possible principles to work
from?)
4. Indication of workshop format:
other
An appropriate format is yet to be determined. But drawing on past
experiences, the workshop hopes to be able to distill
principles/guidelines for future practice, which will be shared with
appropriate fora. This workshop has been developed with the involvement
of the focal points for the selection processes for the CSTD working
group on enhanced cooperation for business, civil society, and
technical and academic stakeholder groups, all of whom will be involved
in its deliberations.
