Did I hear you say you wanted some output from the IGF process? Please help
us continue the discussion started in Kenya...

The IGF Kenya 2011 Workshop 67 E-participation Principles
(
http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/component/chronocontact/?chronoformname=WSProposals2011View&wspid=67with
background paper
http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/components/com_chronocontact/uploads/WSProposals2011/20110922060910_WS%2016%20E-Participation%20Background.doc)
produced a first draft of a set of principles for e-participation,
particularly in reference to multistakeholder global policy processes as a
concrete output of the workshop. This was produced in collaborative editing
with *in situ* and remote attendees, all 'e-participants'.

The discussion draft produced using iEtherpad ( iEtherpad.com ) during the
workshop itself can be viewed at:
http://diplo.ietherpad.com/ep/pad/view/ro.6Uq9$cCZ/rev.4000

A draft of the principles was drawn up based on that discussion, and is now
open for comment at
http://discuss.diplomacy.edu/e-participation/

Please visit the collaborative discussion page, to make your comments on any
one of the sections

   1. Inclusiveness (1) <http://discuss.diplomacy.edu/e-participation/?p=1>
   2. Equality of participation
(0)<http://discuss.diplomacy.edu/e-participation/?p=10>
   3. Scale and stability

   4. Capacity building (0)<http://discuss.diplomacy.edu/e-participation/?p=16>
   5. Providing platforms

   6. A case study: E-participation at the heart of the IGF
(0)<http://discuss.diplomacy.edu/e-participation/?p=20>

by clicking on the section name in the Table of Contents. You can then make
a comment on any one of the principles on that page, by clicking on the
succession icon. You can review other comments at the same time, and reply
or build on another comment as well.

After the draft is open for discussion for at least 30 days, and all points
appear to be clarified, a second draft will be proposed for further comment.


We look forward to your contributions. If you have any questions or
suggestions, do not hesitate to contact me at VirginiaP at diplomacy.edu

E-participate! :)

Regards,
Ginger
