I agree with Imran's additions and Tim's comments. Some initial thoughts.

I agree with how Tim framed the theme:
*
*
*'IMPACTS OF THE INTERNET ON YOUTH: CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE and YOUNG
ADULTS, AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE INTERNET' *


   - *How are 'youth' affected by Internet Governance decisions?*
   - How are 'youth' shaping the Internet? How can opportunities for youth
   to contribute positively to the development of the Internet be encouraged?
   - *What are the differences in how Internet Governance should address
   issues for children, young people and young adults?*




1)    ACCESS TO FREE FLOW OF INFORMATION AND [FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION] [HUMAN
RIGHTS ]


*2)    [HUMAN RIGHTS], [FILTERING], [CONTROLLING / REGULATORY ISSUES]*

*
*

[It will be good to tease out various issues]*
*



   - *When is filtering acceptable?*
   - How do you balance filtering content and freedom of expression?
   - *What should regulators consider when creating policies?*
   - Balancing of rights - Intellectual Property Rights vrs Freedom of
   Expression vrs Privacy


*3)    MULTILINGUALISM*


I agree with Imran's 21.

   - *[Public Awareness for Contents Development/ Conversion into Local
   language]. (I enjoyed one of the sessions that Olga hosted in Nairobi)
   It would be good to encourage these sorts of sessions. *
   - Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) [It would be good to hear panels
   that comprises of the IETF, ICANN and ITU] to update the community on the
   work that is being done by these organisations on IDNs and explore some of
   the controversial elements of IDNs;
   - *UNESCO also presented some very good sessions etc;*
   - Global Policy Consultations should factor "multilingualism" etc;



4)    WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

I agree.


5)    LEGAL POLICY AND REGULATORY



   - [*THE NEED FOR EVIDENCE BASED POLICIES: Shared Lessons*] I find that
   many countries do not have broadband policies or evidence based policies;
   - *[Impact of Regulatory Models on Human, Social and Economic
   Development]*


*
*
* *

*6)     [PARTICIPATION AND INCLUSION] PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES*


   - Update on Work done by W3C and others in a Panel
   - *The need to factor this into ICT Policies etc*




7)    OPEN DATA AND RELATED POLICIES

8)    INTERNET IMPACT ON YOUTH

9)    YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN INTERNET GOVERNANCE

10) HYPERCONECTIVITY AND INDIVIDUALS

11) [HOW TO HANDLE THE DIVERSITY OF NATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK]

12) HOW CAN WE DELIVER ON SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES?

13) [FRAMEWORKS AND PRINCIPLES]

14) [PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE – PKI]

15) [INSTITUTIONAL COOPERATION ON ELIMINATION OF THE DIGITAL GAP BETWEEN
NEIGHBORHOOD COUNTRIES]


*16) [INNOVATION IN SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY – IMPLICATIONS FOR ACCESS]*

   - This is critical because spectrum technology has to become more
   efficient and whilst developed countries have mechanisms and proper
   standards in place etc often developing countries lag behind and all kinds
   of issues such as "Anti Dumping etc";
   - *Standards etc*
