*Workshop Outline*
Our session seeks to explore the contours of the multistakeholder model by
examining the role played by civil society actors in the IANA Transition
Process. Civil Society as a stakeholder group encompasses incredible
diversity within itself. By examining the experiences of civil society
stakeholders in the IANA transition, the session will throw light on the
role, successes and failures of this stakeholder group in the process. The
IANA Transition is seen as a prime example of multistakeholderism in
practice. It is an ideal case study because it will have participants look
to future multistakeholder engagements such as the continuing work stream 2
of ICANN accountability enhancements, among others. This will enable new
participants to get involved and old participants to refine the
multistakeholder model to make it more inclusive.

The session will feed into the goals of more inclusive governance models
and the diversity within this stakeholder group fits into the larger theme
of the IGF 2016 of enabling inclusive and sustainable development.

*Agenda*
1. Welcome and opening input
2. Key issues for civil society during the transition debates
3. Successes and failures from the transition discussions
4. Strategies for the future
5. Open discussion/ Q&A

*Speakers*
Robin Gross, Farzaneh Badii, Milton Mueller, Niels ten Oever, Aarti
Bhavana, Jan-Aart Scholte, Matthew Shears, Alan Greenberg, Marilia Maciel,
