[governance] Workshop Proposals - a few days to go

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Oh one additional thing.. we should formulate a policy question which
the workshop addresses. Or rephrase the title as a question.

Parminder, I think there are different interpretations of what the scope
of EC is, but irrespective of what definition one supports, I think that
learning around process and transparency and accountability could be of
value to the WG in some way or other.

Great that Norbert is willing to co-organise on behalf of the IGC.

APC can  help if needed, but I think there will be lots of others who
are also keen.
