[governance] Workshop proposals for Vilnius

[Adam Peake]

Ory Okolloh of Ushahidi.com, perhaps the kind of person to involve? 
See

Great story, but not sure of the IG angle, unless it's all about openness.

>Following on from Rafik's comment - and to share the load ; ) - 
>perhaps the youth coalition could run a competition that would 
>solicit ideas from his membership, with the prize being a few 
>minutes to talk about them at your workshop/some web display before 
>and after. Kind of like a student business plan competition, but ig

>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
