Bill, Michael,

I agree with Michael co-sponsors should not be that hard to find once
folks know what they might be invited/asked to co-sponsor.  And not all
co-sponsors will be burdensome.

For example, I am happy to offer Wireless Grids Corporation
(www.wgrids.com) or my consultancy Marengo Research LLC as  'co-sponsors
of last resort' for practically any CS-initiated workshop. Just pick one
and spell the name right.   

Finally, I agree with Parminder that it would be helpful to have a few
more weeks to get this all settled; but if Markus is as clever as I
believe he is he won't extend the deadline, until near the deadline, so
folks should keep working on their proposals, and see if you can find
more prestigious co-sponsors than a startup.

Dear all,

All IGF workshops concepts have to be multi-stakeholder concepts,
otherwise they don't have any chance to get into the Rio agenda. So
there is asolutely no way around finding "partners" from the private
sector as well as governments. Why not drafting a few workshop
programmes, putting them on the web (IGF website?), and by doing this
make them publicly available for sponsorship offers?

Michael, Berlin
