[governance] workshop proposals for IGF Hyd

[Adam Peake]

Parminder, good timing.  I was just about to send the following!

A renewed call for workshops will be made soon (early next week, March 17 on.)

If you organized a workshop or other event in Rio 
and have not yet submitted a report, please write 
one up now. Ask the secretariat <igf at unog.ch> if 
you are not sure of the format, but a page or two 
of A4 (for example, just as a guide... 400 to 500 
words) would be fine.

There were about 80 parallel events in Rio, so 
far about 13 have sent in reports (six 
workshops.) 
<http://www.intgovforum.org/rio_reports/rio_reports.html>. 
Not very good.

At the last meeting of the MAG the group decided:

1.  All organizers of events (workshops, best 
practices etc) will be asked to commit themselves 
to submit a report on their event. Non-submission 
of a report will disqualify  the organizer for 
the following year.

(i.e. organize an event in 2008 and fail to 
report means no space in 2009).  and

2. Preference will be given in 2008 to those who 
did submit a report for 2007.  (Submission of 
reports is still possible and encouraged.)

(see 
<http://www.intgovforum.org/Feb_igf_meeting/MAG.Summary.28.02.2008.v2.pdf>)

So, please submit your reports.  I think this 
fair, free space and facilities at a major 
international meeting, couple of pages isn't much 
to ask.

Adam
