[governance] IGC workshops

[Adam Peake]

Parminder, thanks for this.

The response to the call for workshops hasn't 
been overwhelming, actually very few, so the MAG 
has revised the call and by April 30 just a 
summary proposal will be OK.  I think all 
stakeholders are struggling as we have been 
(actually, caucus probably ahead of many.)

Completed responses where possible, but know this 
is hard so by April 30 a summary is fine. This 
will help everyone better understand what 
interests are this year, perhaps help us put 
people with similar ideas together etc.

The key information needed by April 30 is:

1. Name of proposed workshop

2. Provide a concise description of the proposed 
workshop theme including its importance and 
relevance to the IGF.

4. Provide the name of the organizer(s) of the 
workshop and their affiliation to various 
stakeholder groups. Describe how you will take 
steps to adhere to the multi-stakeholder 
principle, geographical diversity and gender 
balance.

9. Under which of the five IGF themes does the proposal fall under ?
(access, critical Internet resources, diversity, openness, security)

I think we have most of the answers.

Thanks,

Adam
