To submit a workshop you have to have a login id from the IGF.

You have no choice about this, of course there must be. I have already
established such an account for the JPA workshop.

This is fine with me, but I don't think the difference in status you are
trying to establish is valid. I suspect that APC is in the same position
with respect to the rights workshop that IGP is in with respect to the
JPA WS. And it may be that others are in the same position on the other
proposals. Unless Parminder or the other co-coordinator of IGC has
actually established a login account for all the other workshops, there
is no real difference.
