[governance] Workshop proposals for Vilnius

Mon Apr 5 10:31:24 EDT 2010

Hi all,

I can divide idea of Parminder which joined the proposal of Jeremy and
clarified by Jean Louis Fullsack. A retrospective analysis can enable us to
measure the way accomplished region by region.

On this point, I propose that GAID can be also associated in this analysis
as well the WSIS stocktaking platform. From this retrospective analysis, we
can come out the forces and weaknesses of all the problems discussed at the
time of all IGF forum in order to define a diary which will take into
account the regional concerns.

It should be recognized that on this point, some areas remained more
constant than others to have to respect their agenda from 2003 to date.

To summarize my idea, I will say  it is necessary to go from  retrospective
towards prospective for a better perspective.

Anyway, there is very little I would change in Fouad's workshop proposal, but here are the two workshop proposals that are currently on the table for discussion, the second one now fleshed out a bit.  Please provide any comments on these so that we can submit them both for the MAG's consideration by the 15th.

> A workshop that provides stakeholders the opportunity to share positive ideas for stimulating socio-economic change in the developing world utilizing the Internet. This will be a venue for both developed and developing world participants. An example may be the ideas presented by Tim Berners-Lee at TED for Opening Data to the world that helped in providing concrete relief information on the ground during the Haiti earthquake crisis. Another idea may be Google's mapping of the Sudan crisis.

> A round table open to all participants of the workshop. The format will be 5 minutes given to each of the participants to share an existing or revolutionary idea. The Internet governance dimensions of each idea will also be explored.  All the ideas will be recorded and categorized under various topics for measurement of impact over the following year.

> Title: Successes and failures of Internet governance, 1995 - 2010, and looking forward to WSIS 2015
>
> Objective:
> This workshop will compare the changing institutional and procedural approaches that have been applied to the problems of Internet governance over the last 15 years, and facilitate the sharing of various perspectives about the effectiveness and legitimacy of each approach.  In each case reference will be made to the WSIS process criteria which recommend the full involvement of governments, the private sector, civil society, and international organizations in Internet governance arrangements.

> In parallel, the workshop will also look back to the period of 2003-2005 when the first meetings of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was held, and forward to a future meeting in 2015.  Questions to be asked include, would the same decisions about Internet governance that were made in 2005 have been made today, are the WSIS process criteria due for revision, and how will the role of private actors differ between the two summits?

> Format:
> The workshop will take a interactive panel format, beginning with brief presentations from experts from each of the stakeholder groups (including academia), followed by a moderated between panelists and the floor.
