Hi Anja

I am curious what would the mean and entail by "proposals ... should 
present the proposed issue ... incorporating a multi-stakeholder 
perspective".

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'.

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 here 
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/workshop-proposals/list-of-published-workshop-proposals> 
... 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..
