[governance] preparing for IGF 2008

[Adam Peake]

Meryem,

Thanks for more good ideas -- we should end up 
with a good body of ideas that might become a 
contribution from the caucus for the February 
meeting (or from individuals, if we don't agree 
on everything we can pick and choose and submit 
what we like.)

One update -- the dates of the stock taking 
consultation have moved.  The open consultation 
now February 26, not 25th as I wrote earlier. 
The advisory group will most likely meet for the 
two days after, 27-28.

Date of the consultation now on the website, I 
will ask that AG meeting also be mentioned.

IGF website also now says:

"All stakeholders are invited to send to the IGF 
Secretariat (igf at unog.ch) their comments and 
views on the Rio de Janeiro meeting and make 
suggestions with regard to the preparation of the 
meeting in New Delhi. You may wish to address 
topics such as the preparatory process, the 
logistics of the meeting as well as its format 
and content. All contributions will be posted on 
the Web site. A Web based form will also be made 
available for this purpose."

Hopefully, all workshop organizers will submit a 
report, there was some confusion about the 
format, but hopefully these reports will appear 
sometime.

And all workshops were audiocast and I hope audio 
files will be made available at some point.  I 
believe the audiocasts were of the language used 
in the room, not interpreted. Your comment below 
about transcription very valid -- transcription 
services are reasonably affordable, text would be 
helpful (particularly if linked to any other 
materials, some may have used presentations, 
there may be background papers, etc.) 
Translation of course expensive, and the 
real-time scribes are a pretty unique resource, 
not sure there are many other services like 
their's. It's pretty amazing stuff.

Best,

Adam
