[governance] FW: TODAY 2.30-4.00 Workshop: National IG Mechanisms - Looking at Some Key Design Issues

[michael gurstein]

Yes, thanks McTim... When we made the proposal for the Workshop we didn't
know of the ISOC research...The two reports (there is also  case study on
Kenya) are, on quick examination, very useful and we were fortunate to have
David Souter the author come and give a brief intro to those reports.

There will be a report on the Workshop, but briefly, there was quite a lot
of interest in the subject--both from Developed and LDC's and a
(surprising?) range of mechanisms/national strategies for dealing with
Internet Governance at the national level.  Some good practices were
presented--CGI.br (Brazil), CIRA (Canada), Internet NZ (NZ)) and some
challenges were presented--national interference (Ukraine), inclusiveness
for cybercafes (india), responding to emergency conditions (Cote
d'Ivoire)--so a lot of scope for follow up on the issue which a number of
those attending the Workshop indicated an interest in doing.

I'm compiling a list of those who want to continue the discussion so anyone
with an interest please send an email to me <gurstein at gmail.com> (and feel
free to pass this invitation along to anyone with an interest).

Also, with this note I'ld like to thank the panelists--Byron Holland (CIRA),
Susan Chalmers (InternetNZ), Carlos Afonso (CGI.br), Pranesh Prakesh
(CIS-India), Tapani Tarvainen (EFF-Finland) and particularly David Souter
(who rushed from the launch of his reports) for their contributions.

Best,

M
