[governance] Reposting Workshop 1: Revolutionary Internet

[Lee W McKnight]

To defend the revolution (?) and back up Fouad, I would ask Bil and others to explain how they know there will not be revolutionary IG ideas dreamt up to help change the developing world, and discussed at the workshop. 

Maybe the paragraph description needs to be tweaked, but I would hate the IGC to abandon co-organizing the revolution just when it might be getting interesting : )

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?

Also Fouad, since a couple of people have expressed concern about the lack of an IG angle to this otherwise well-received workshop idea, would you consider proposing it to the IGF without the IGC listed as a workshop organiser?  Just a question.
