[governance] PrepCom Internet Governance Parallel Events

[William Drake]

Hello,

For anyone attending, below is what I was able to pull together quickly
based on the previously circulated CFP etc.  The line-ups could evolve a
little more depending on circumstances at the time.

Best,

Bill

PrepCom 3 Parallel Events on Internet Governance

Organized by Computer Professional for Social Responsibility (CPSR)
www.cpsr.org

The purpose of these events is to facilitate focused, open,
multistakeholder discussions on two major issues that were discussed in
the report of the UN Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) and are
prominent on the WSIS agenda for PrepCom-3 and beyond: 1) the possible
creation of a new Forum for Internet governance dialogue, monitoring, and
analysis; and 2) the possible reform of the current arrangements for
Oversight of the Internet’s core resources (e.g. the root zone file and
ICANN’s Government Advisory Committee).  All attendees are very much
welcome to participate in these discussions.
