            I just wanted to share with you all that the submission
            deadline for the APrIGF workshops has been slightly
            extended, until 7 April. For those of you who are in the
            region, do please consider submitting a proposal!<br>

    Hi Anja<br>
    <br>
    I am curious what would the mean and entail by "<span
      style="font-size:14px;line-height:19px">proposals ... should
      present the proposed issue ... incorporating a multi-stakeholder
      perspective".<br>
      <br>
      For instance, it one were to present a workshop proposal titled
      'Countering the power of Internet Trans-national corporations',
      one would normally be writing mostly about excesses of TNC's power
      in this area and what to do about it, isnt it. Would that fail the
      test of 'incorporating a MS perspective'.<br>
      <br>
      Or, to take a more concrete example, those who organised the
      workshop on Internet Social Forum intend to also organise one the
      next IGF, the initial proposal is <a
href="http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/workshop-proposals/list-of-published-workshop-proposals">here</a>
      ... I have a feeling that this proposal may not be considered to
      be 'incorporating a multi stakeholder perspective' but I dont
      know, you or someone else from APrIGF can tell me..<br>
      <br>
      Best , parminder <br>
