[governance] "Mapping Internet Governance" workshop (was Re: Proposed...)

[Miguel Alcaine]

Dear All,

In my opinion, IGC may build a compendium of what maps are available, and
present to the workshop a proposal in alpha state (if I take software
versions) to continue refining such map.

In the workshop, it could be discussed the features of the map itself, its
content and its future development. I think that establishing an annual
process to update such map and make it available to the public - probably
electronically, like one does for ISO 9001, will be very useful.

Having the workshop discussing without a document, may produce good ideas on
the features of an eventual map, but could limit real progress.

I see more advantages on having a proposed map on alpha version to present
in Nairobi even if the proposed map needs to be remade from zero for 2012,
which also happens with software.

Best,

Miguel
