[governance] Call for workshop proposals

[Ginger Paque]

I am very interested in several Workshops which I think fit with IGC
priorities, and interests of others on the list:

 

*       Remote Participation from both the policy (inclusion) and
application (practical) perspectives

*       Awareness and practical applications for people with disabilities –
with the DC?

*       Online educational techniques perhaps with the DC for digital
education

*       Mixed panel on NN: experts from CS, business and government
presenting different sides—we had a great discussion on the NN panel last
year, but were missing the academic viewpoint.

 

Ideas? Comments? Thanks!

 

Ginger

Asunto: [governance] Call for workshop proposals

 

The IGF Secretariat is calling for preliminary workshop proposals by April
15. 

 

The relevant questionnaire is at`

ate-for-workshop-proposals

 

The objective here seems to be to get early action on merging workshop
proposals which are similar.

 

IGC has in the past sponsored various workshops, and we should do as so as
well this time. I suggest that, if there is a workshop you think IGC should
submit, please start a topic here for each workshop with a concept so others
interested can express interest. Last year, groups working on separate
proposals eventually set up their own private mailing lists but included the
IGC Co-coordinators (Ginger and myself at this stage) and also fed back to
the main list regularly as regards their progress.

 

We may or may not meet April 15 deadlines in each case. There is nothing to
suggest that proposals after that date will not be looked at. However, it
would seem advisable to put a “stake in the ground” as regards workshops
where IGC has an ongoing interest. This would seem to include areas such as
open access to the internet, critical internet resources, and rights and
principles. I am sure there are others.

 

I urge those who have specific interests in these or other areas to start a
topic here to discuss a workshop proposal
