[governance] IGF delhi format

[Izumi AIZU]

Thanks Parminder for your effort and work.


2008/2/21, Parminder <parminder at itforchange.net>:

IMHO, the participation part got only one para only, seemingly not
substantial
enough. I felt there were less participante from developing parts of the
world,
(not only developing countries per se, but there are folks inside developed
countries, who are not rich enough to come to IGF, but entitiled
stakeholders),
youth, or other civil society NGO, non-profit groups, for exmaple. Stronger
measuures be taken, especially if it is to be hosted in India, where Asia
Pacific
region go half of, I believe world's poorest people, concentrating in South
Asia.

I am not good at addressing these, but Parminder, I trust you have good
knowledge and writing skills to emphasise this point more. Please, if at all
possible.
