[governance] Workshop Proposals - a few days to go

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Dear Adam

I think it is good to have this as an IGC proposal. I am happy to
support the process in my capacity as the 'focal point' for the CSTD WG
selection (a role which is actually now over).

APC is also working on a proposal with the government of Brazil, ISOC
and ICC Basis on broader principles for multi-stakeholder internet
governance to build on the events we did in Baku, and in Paris at WSIS
+5. It would be good to make sure that this workshop is distinguished
clearly from the one we are discussing in the IGC.

Ayesha has already communicated with Norbert and committed that ICC
Basis will participate in some way.

Anja Kovacs from Internet Democracy Project has shared ideas on this
topic with me. Anja, what about you getting involved. And Nnenna has
already contributed substantial ideas. Nnenna.. more input from you ? I
know how busy you are.

Norbert, just let me know if you  need any more input from me.
