[governance] Reporting from the IGF

[Parminder]

Getting a civil society IGF report out is a valuable thing, but quite
ambitious as well. We need to really coordinate well for it and some of us
to work hard. But I am for doing it.

Ideally. We need to have worked in advance to delineate the manner in which
this report should be made, and the overall civil society issues and
principles that it focuses on. Free hand reporting by a number of us is
quite a different matter, and no doubt shall go on. 

We will like to hear views of members on this. The feasibility of the idea,
and how to take it forward.

In any case, we should start preparing for such a report much earlier for
the next IGF.

All,

I was wondering whether we should try to get organized to prepare civil 
society reports about what happens at the IGF. It would be good to keep 
track of what is said in the main sessions and in as many workshops as 
possible, even if briefly, so that all our efforts in organizing 
workshops and pushing our themes do not get lost. So in the end we could 
produce a small "civil society IGF report" to use both to spread news to 
other CS groups that did not attend, and to provide a record of the 
discussions... and of the nice commitments by other stakeholders that 
then often vanish just after the meeting :)

Would this be a good idea? Of course it would need to rely on many of us 
volunteering to produce reports, possibly avoiding to have people 
reporting on their own events, to make it more reliable. But I'm curious 
to see whether others find this a good idea.

Regards,
