[governance] 'Internationalisation workshop'

[Parminder]

Hi All

Since the theme of 'internationalisation of IG' (loosely put) seem to 
have received early attention in MAG meetings, I suggest we propose one 
workshop on this subject.
What about 'Democratic internationalization of IG - Exploring various 
institutional options'

The term 'democratic' before internationalisation brings in civil 
society concerns regarding possible use of this term for a simple 
statist takeover of global IG processes.

WGIG report explore some institutional options for such 
internationalisation. Since WSIS documents have to be relatively 
definitive  on such things , these options are not mentioned there, but 
I think the WSIS's IG related follow up processes are precisely to take 
such discussions/ possibilities forward.

There is increasing pressure to move forward on the 
'internationalisation' issue and it best if civil society takes lead in 
exploring/ proposing some options. In doing so it will help IGF to move 
forward in its principal mandate - that of helping (and if needed 
nudging forward) global Internet policy processes, which includes new 
institutional  forms, as and when needed.

There is going to be  a main session on this theme - our workshop can 
connect to it.

If an early workshop proposal is put by the IGC on the table I expect 
some governmental actors to get also interested.
