[governance] IGC workshops

[Parminder]

Hi All

 

Here is where we stand on possible IGC sponsored workshops for IGF, Hyd.

 

We have 4 topics under direct consideration. The titles are still loosely
worded and subject to finalization within working groups.

 

1.	Role and mandate of the IGF
2.	Trans-boundary jurisdiction issues
3.	Internationalization  
4.	a rights based approach to the Internet - Implications for IG 

 

We will be forming working groups for each topic for further development. He
listing of these topics here is tentative, and does in no way represent a
final list. Discussion can meanwhile go on on this list as to which workshop
proposals should actually go. The WGs will enable us to do simultaneous work
on developing proposals and also if needed clarifying about their intent and
content as these discussions take place. 

 

Workshop on 'Role and mandate of the IGF'

 

Pleas volunteer to convene the working group for this, as well to
participate in the wg. I especially welcome participation of those who were
not there on this workshop the last time around. 

 

Workshop on 'trans-boundary jurisdiction issues'

 

Bret has agreed to convene this wg, and it is already functioning with
membership of Meryem, Bill and Ian. Others may join

 

Workshop on 'Internationalization' 

 

I understand that IGP may propose that a workshop that they intend to do on
post-JPA arrangement can fill in this slot of 'internationalisation', since
in any case not many ideas have come forward on this subject from the list.
I think IGP group developing the proposal will not be averse to take in some
IGC members interested in this subject on to the working group developing
this proposal, and therefore it can be a joint IGP, IGC proposal. 

 

Workshop on 'A rights based approach to the Internet - Implications for IG'

 

I invite Michael Gurstein or Karen to convene a wg for this.  Other may
join. Karen has indicated APC's support (which I understand as
co-sponsorship) for this workshop.

 

I repeat, this is not a finalized list, but only a proposed one, and members
are welcome to contribute their views.
