[governance] Fwd: Conference of the Internet Governance Project 2008

[Lee McKnight]

So Carlos has agreed to be lead liason for cs to our hosts, ie the Rio
tourist office - right Carlos?

And while I personally would love IGP to plan on returning to Brazil
again in 2008, all I know about is 2007, IGF, giganet etc.

I thought I had read on the list that there was a plan to run shuttle
buses to Ipanema and back, Carlos you will also figure the transport and
liaise with Kummer et al and the brailiazn govt about that too right? ) 
 

And get Lula to pick up the tab for cs's hotel/conference facility, for
gigianet ii, the cs meeting etc? ; )  Or can Antonio get us a good deal
on suitable (but cheap) meeting spaces at PUC-Rio?

hi bill and all

>A CS meeting is a good idea.  One consideration on timing---we expect
to
>hold the second GigaNet symposium on the day prior to the IGF, the
11th, and
>if the Athens symposium is any indicator, presumably a lot of
CS/academic
>types would want to be able to attend that.  If it were possible to do
the
>CS meeting on the 10th, that would avoid any conflict.  Just a
thought...

we would also support a CS meeting..

in response to bill's note about giganet and timing  - i can see 
we're going to have some challenges ;)..

carlos and i met here in lisbon to discuss the APC council meeting 
(which we'll hold prior to the IGF nov 2-9)

which we will then follow with a one day public event on low cost 
connectivity/access - as an IGF pre event, that will also feed into 
the agenda proper (somehow)

that is scheduled for Nov  10th - and i really wouldn't like for that 
to clash with a general CS event - that said, i know no-one wants to 
have events clashing, but not sure what options we have

we all want to make the most of the IGF event in several (connected) 
ways - but, i don't think we can hold events much earlier than the 
10th (and get folks attending who are attending the IGF) - we may 
have to live with some cross-over - but the earlier we can talk 
specifics, the better.. to ensure we all can make the most of the 
various opportunities

having all events in the one place for example, would be a good
start..
