[governance] Merger of workshop "Reflection on the Indian proposal towards an IGF 2.0"

Thu May 12 15:17:20 EDT 2011

Hi there,

There have been NO discussion as of now. The discussion will be held in 
Geneva during the MAG meeting. MAGs members needs to prepare for that 
meeting and DO their job. AKA: Read the 111 workshops approx. 
descriptions and grade them as I explained in an email. Then, we will be 
ready to combat any attempt to block any workshop based on "dubious 
strategies", if there any. Happy to work with Marilia and anyone else 
who wants to work with us.

During the MAG consultation, we will discuss one by one each workshop. I 
save a few workshops last year from merging thanks from the feedback I 
get from Twitter and the IGF mailing list.  Ginger provides a lot of 
support to MAG members since she was monitoring what the list was saying 
and send the feedback to MAG members so they can act upon that.
