[governance] MAG future

[Parminder]

We have our workshop on 'fulfilling the mandate of the IGF' at the Rio
meeting. We can explore how it can be used for the purpose of

Of course, it will be great if IGC can come out with some proposals for this
before the IGF, and discuss and  circulate them at the IGF..

Meanwhile, I happen to be in Europe the next week, and will be able to drop
in  at the open IGF consultations on 3rd. Let me know who all will be there.
Karen I know will be there, Bill is based in Geneva ... Anyone else who will
be attending? We can plan to meet. 

Please also let us know what issues any of the members may want raised at
the consultations. I have looked the new draft program and things look quite
fine at this stage. 

Along with our workshop on fulfilling the mandate of the IGF, three
workshops organized by IGC members seem to be covering all the four agenda
items that we proposed for the Rio meeting, which is quite good.  

These workshops are

Public policy on the Internet (http://info.intgovforum.org/yoppy.php?poj=5 )

Towards a development Agenda for IG
http://info.intgovforum.org/yoppy.php?poj=56 

And

Governance frameworks for CIRs http://info.intgovforum.org/yoppy.php?poj=37
