[governance] Updated draft agenda for igc at igf

[Adam Peake]

Avri, Hi, I'd like you to withdraw that request for a room on the final day.

At the moment the three workshop are rooms are free at lunch on 
Thursday November 2nd. Other than the opening day, this is only time 
when large space is available.  If different stakeholder groups start 
asking for rooms, there won't be space left for other things.

I think we would be better trying to get people together, all 
stakeholders, to discuss workshops (and panels and GigaNet for that 
matter) and to try and build momentum for ongoing discussion around 
those.

The purpose of IGF is multi-stakeholder policy dialogue.  Right now 
we are a week away from a 4 day conference that as someone suggested 
looks a bit like INET... not a bad achievement in itself in 5 months, 
but not what IGF is meant to be about.  There is no mechanism 
identified for starting and maintaining dialogue between Athens and 
Brazil.  Right now it's pretty much conference as normal.

Be great for the caucus to be able to take stock and see where we're 
going after Athens, but I think we'd be better spending this only 
free time trying to push multi-stakeholder dialogue rather than 
talking among ourselves (with private sector in another room and 
government in another.)

If it were up to me, I'd offer space in these rooms to any workshop 
organizer (there will be about 30 separate workshops in all.)  They'd 
have a few tables and chairs set apart from others in the room so 
people who were interested in their workshop could drop by and chat 
about next steps.  We need to start thinking of ways to use Athens to 
spark an ongoing dialogue.  This is the best I can come up with.

Thanks,

Adam
