[governance] IGC's workshop for the IGF

[Parminder]

Hi All

 

The good news from the IGF MAG is that all the three workshops sponsored by
the IGC, and one co-sponsored by it, have cleared the pre-selection process,
and in my reading, are almost certain to get slots at the IGF. 

 

They are now green color coded in the workshops list and the secretariat's
communication says that "The green category indicates workshops, which will
be allocated a slot at the IGF in Hyderabad."

 

The three workshops being sponsored by the IGF are

 

1.	Internet for All - Exploring a Rights-based Approach

 

2.	The role and mandate of the IGF

 

3.	The Transboundary Internet: Jurisdiction, Control and Sovereignty

 

 

And the one being co-sponsored with the IGP is "The Future of ICANN: After
the JPA, What?".

 

The Secretariat communication does add a cautionary note

 

"Please note that this is not a final assessment, but rather a work in
progress. The list is a 'positive list' of workshop proposals which offer
solid prospects for staging interesting and successful events. We have not
drawn up a 'negative list' of proposals we are rejecting. All workshops
still stand a chance of being chosen."

 

And that

 

"The selection process will be finalized at the next MAG Meeting in
September, taking into account the discussions during the Open
Consultations."

 

But I think the workshops are thorough, in all likelihood. We should now
prepare for them intensely. It will be good to have a discussion  on this
list on each workshop topic as a separate thread. The working groups also
need to get more active to finalize format and speakers and share it with
the members.

 

 

Thanks

 

Parminder
