[governance] Workshop proposals for Vilnius

[Fouad Bajwa]

Hi,

Good stimulus Jeremy. I would also look at some innovative workshop
format that would interest most participants in a very productive
manner that can also act as a future IG idea stimulator.

My proposal for a workshop is:

Title: Revolutionary Internet Ideas that can help change the Developing World!

Objective:
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 Tim Berner Lee's
TED ideas for Opening Data to the world that helped in gaining
concrete relief information on the ground during the Haiti earthquake
crisis. Another idea may be Google's mapping of the Sudan crisis.
There are many positive ideas that can evolve from this venue and be
recorded and measured till the next IGF (hopefully) and then feedback
can help in identifying which ideas had an impact over the past 12
months since presented.

Format:
A round table open to all participants of the workshop. The format
will be 3 minutes given to each of the participants to share an
existing or revolutionary idea. All the ideas will be recorded and
categorized under various topics for measurement of impact in the next
few months.

> Some possible ideas:
>
> Messages from the IGF
- I am not sure about this topic.

> Looking forward to WSIS 2015
- Good topic that can be continued in future IGF's

> Successes and failures of Internet governance, 1995 - 2010
- This topic might create a bit of controversy but it is too early to
say anything. Maybe try it and learn from it. What if we combine both
he WSIS 2015 workshop with this one so that it becomes:

- Learning from IG 1995-2010 and looking forward to WSIS 2015
