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.

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.

I am having a hard time getting my head around this workshop.  It appears to be about interesting Internet applications rather than Internet governance, and the schematic description makes it hard to guess what would actually be discussed.  Could the proponents please elaborate?

Thanks,

Bill
