<p>Thanks Arsene for the detailed summary.</p>
<p>I wouldn't mind to join in person to co-organize the workshop if there's funding but if not will join remotely.</p>
<p>I would recommend two formats with strong support for the first one. </p>
<p> - Break out group discussions. This format could help break expert into groups in the following field financing ict, access, and knowledge to critically discuss the involvement of civil society. I am very sure this format will leave no one behind the scene but will make all the group members to contribute. If organized properly in combination with lively elements, it will bring about lasting memory and result</p>
<p> - BOF: Birds of a feather. Well, this format will only bring interested stakeholders together to discuss the proposed topic which I think it's makes people boring and less participating.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

Louis Puzin made it a bit clearer but again when commented by other colleagues,
it became again more and more confusing. I fear such workshop will have less
