    <p>o be (constructively) provocative, let me call the below as an
      exercise in exploring post-multistakeholderism models of
      participatory digital policy making, since MS ism is mostly
      corporate captured now: ... Worth some collective thought perhaps.

            color="#000000"><b>"Digital policy making from below -- Ask
              the impacted sectors first"</b>, on <b>December 6th</b>,
            from 09.30 to 12.00 UTC. Those at the venue of the Internet
            Governance Forum in Katowice, Poland, the physical place
            will be Ballroom A.  <br>
          </font></p>
        <p>As will be clear from the workshop note below, and enclosed,
          the event is around discussing <b>a new paradigm of digital
            policy development</b>, which in our view should be the best
          way of discovering and anchoring public interest with respect
          to our digital future. <br>
        </p>
        <p>In pursuance of this belief of JNC, which is still shaping
          up, and this event is a part of that exercise, it is also
          expected that JNC will re-orient itself more consciously to
          this new direction in its work -- developing the required
          networks of civil society groups, from inside and outside
          digital arena, and proposing and advocating for institutions
          that would best enable and facilitate this new context and the
          needs of the proposed new paradigm of digital policy making. 
          <br>
        </p>
        <p>The event should therefore be interesting and useful for <b>all
            JNC members and friends</b>, as well as <b>all those who
            grapple with</b> <b>institutional issues around how to best
            develop digital policies</b>, so key to humanity's future. <br>
        </p>
        <p>We invite all of you to attend. Instructions on how to attend
          are in the workshop note. For those never been to an IGF
          and/or not registered for this one, please do <b>register
            right away - -meaning today</b> - -to be able to
