>Proposed Program for IGC at IGF
>
>This program is intended to introduce and reintroduce the Civil
>Society Internet Governance Caucus to the participants at the IGF.
>We discuss the origins of the caucus, it current status and the work
>being done by caucus participant in planning and organizing the IGF
>meetings and workshops.

sounds good..

>- Setting the context: WSIS, the IGC and how we got to the IGF (15 minutes)
>     Presented by former IGC coordinators Adam and Jeanette
>- Status of the IGC today (10 minutes)
>     Presented by transition coordinator - Avri
>- Update from MAG and SAG members on IGF AG activities (10 minutes)
>     One or two of those nominated by the IGC

what is the SAG? special advisors group?

and, what would this update focus on..  how the whole thing's worked? 
process, challenges etc?

>- Q&A with MAG/SAG members (20 minutes)
>     Will try to get as may of them on stage for the Q&A

there could be a lot of questions.. might it be worth gathering some 
before hand online so that the lucky seleted folk can prepare? might 
also help in preparing for the update above..

>- Brief overview of CS organized workshops and the goals for the
>workshops (2-5 minutes each)
>     CS Workshop organizers

hmm.. wondering if we really need to do that - considering time is 
short - and i imagine there will be a lot of workshops..

what about if we put together a document that contains brief 
overviews of all CS intiiated workshops, post it here, plenary - 
maybe it can go on the IGF website - and people can have that to hand 
when they come to the meeting? (well, if they print it out, which they should!)

it would be good to hear from workshop organisers - but i think it 
would also be good to see if we can't draw out some issues that are 
of interest and priority to CS participants - that can be fed into 
the main sessions during audience participation etc?

i've been struggling to think of ways we can co-ordinate a broader 
strategy (i mean, broader than just our individual workshop 
endeavours) - to hold everything together?

i know's there a huge diversity of perspective and i am in no way 
suggesting that we try to come up with common points/issues for 
interventions etc. but, it would be nice to hear, in one place, what 
people might be taking into the open sessions, and what they hope to 
get out of workshops, potential collaboration/initiatives etc.. 
rather than focus on content of the workshops perse)

sorry - a bit long-winded..

thanks for pulling it together avri
