[governance] Themes for the coming IGFs

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Hello All,

There was one suggestion by one of the participants during the last main
open session that we should consider grouping workshop into issues, rather
than continue with the present system of workshop topics [which leads to a
situation of some issues overlappingly featured and some other issues
completely missed.

Whether or not such a change in approach is possible, when it comes to a
proposal for a theme, we need to think of something that includes every
issue. By that standard even Access is a rather narrow topic. Perhaps we
should think of a theme that encompasses all issues concerning the growth
and further evolution of the Internet. Such a topic could cover every issue
and could get the IGF debating on ICANN governance, ITU's moves, legislative
trends and every other issue around the task of preserving the open and free
nature of the Internet.
