My dearest friends,

As a member of IGC's MAG representation I would like to keep my
visibility minimum and promote other members to take up visibility and
leadership in this proposal. I welcome everyone's support and thank
you all for backing this collaborative idea.

Inputs to your suggestions:

Jeremy: Kindly propose an improved language to the workshop proposal
so that IGC can collaboratively develop it into a very fruitful
discourse.

Rafik: How about we include 20% ideas from Youth, 20% from Women, 20%
from Civil Society, 20% from Private Sector and 20% from Governments
though I am still unsure to how this might be managed.

Carlos: Please share your help and support on this. We need maximum
participation from the global south and their creative interventions.

Lee Mcknight: Totally accept and welcome your suggestions for incorporation.

Adam: Very good suggestion and it would viable to have resource people
and such a person could stimulate both the energy and the passion to
such a idea sharing activity. Please send in more suggestions and we
can collaboratively develop and back this proposal.

Everyone please continue sharing your ideas.

>> Objective:

>> Format:
>> A round table open to all participants of the workshop. The format
