<div dir="ltr">Dear friends and colleagues,<div><br></div><div>I am looking forward to meet many of you at the IGF at Guadalajara in two weeks. Together with my colleagues from Stanford we are organizing a workshop to bring democratic practices and values in general and deliberation in particular into the multistakeholder Internet Governance world (2p to 5p on Dec 5). I strongly believe that peer-reviewed balanced briefing materials and well conducted deliberation can significantly improve informed governance and decision making in our field.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are writing to invite you to our day 0 workshop at IGF2016 in Mexico! Stanford’s Center for Deliberative Democracy (CDD) and the Center for Democracy, Development and Rule of Law (CDDRL) are hosting a day 0 workshop to discuss bringing
deliberation and deliberative democracy to multistakeholder Internet governance. <b>The workshop at the IGF venue from 2p to 5p on Dec 5. </b><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To ground the workshop in one of the current Internet Governance debates, participants will engage in moderated small group deliberations on the topic of governing digital encryption. Participants will engage in knowledge sharing and weighing
of tradeoffs based on balanced briefing materials laying out policy options and their tradeoffs. Following this hands on deliberative experience, the workshop will open up the discussion to strategies, obstacles, and paths for how deliberative democracy
can be effectively used within multistakeholder governance in general and on the topic of governing digital encryption in particular. Participants in this workshop will depart with a deliberation toolkit which participants can use to implement in their own
communities. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are interested in joining our workshop, please rsvp <span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none"><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/657n7bXms0AjUo113" target="_blank">here</a><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/e1W2iAgo3kzneFUw1" target="_blank"></a></span>!
