[governance] RP Workshop proposal final draft for consensus

[Ginger Paque]

I  propose this as a final draft for the RP Workshop:

1. Propose a title for a workshop (not more then 10 words)

Remote Participation: mapping the field, evaluation and multistakeholder
involvement 

2. Provide a concise description of the workshop (not more than 200 words)

At the IGF Hyderabad, the Remote Participation Working Group and the IGF
Secretariat coordinated with local partners in the creation of IGF hubs and
support for Remote Participation in the IGF main event. Since then, the
debate about remote participation has gained momentum. 

Nonetheless, stakeholders must review: a) How they can benefit from the
improvement in remote participation possibilities at the IGF; b) what their
role is in the projects that aim to enhance remote participation; c) how
stakeholders can work synergistically in order to implement remote
participation. 

The workshop will discuss remote participation both from a policy (what
should be done) and a best practices approach (what has been done). 

Policy:

1- Mapping the field of remote participation. Identify the
impelling/institutional arrangements where remote participation is most
needed. Identify additional prospective stakeholders that should be involved
in this initiative and how to engage them.

2- Global and regional fora and issues 

3- Inclusion of people from developing countries 

4- Inclusion of people with disabilities.

Best practices:

1- Best practices at the IGF: an evaluation (including remote hubs)

2- Guidelines for RP at the IGF: a step towards a code of best practices in
the field of remote participation?

 

3. Does the workshop fall under any of the five broad IGF Themes (Critical
Internet Resources, Openness, Security, Access, Diversity) or under the
cross-cutting priorities (development, capacity building)? If so which one?
(Please select the most appropriate one.)

Capacity Building

Capacity development must be seen both as a precondition and as an outcome
of remote participation. The involvement of a broader range of stakeholders
on the Internet Governance debate, particularly those from developing
countries, will have a positive impact on their abilities to follow and to
intervene in global and regional debates. Building Capacity in this area
will foster access, openness and diversity in international policy
processes.

 

4.Have you organized an IGF workshop before? If so, please provide the link

5. Would you like to organize the workshop yourself?

1. If so, who would you approach as co-organizers ? 

The Remote Participation Working Group (RPWG) and the Internet Governance
Caucus (IGC)

We suggest approaching DiploFoundation as well. DiploFoundation has
organized and reported on a number of Capacity Building and other workshops.
