[governance] [bestbits] Fwd: [Rigf_discuss] [Extended Deadline: Apr 7(Tue)] APrIGF Macao 2015 - Last Chance to Submit Your Workshop Proposals

[Paul Wilson]

Thanks Anja, for spreading this news.

One reason for the deadline extension was to give a chance for those who brought workshops to RightsCon (last week in Manila) to bring some of the same issues and content into APrIGF.  In my opinion there is plenty of opportunity for this kind of cross-fertilisation, and then also, for these discussions to be taken onwards to the global IGF.

Although there are already a lot of good proposals for APrIGF, I hope this extension will allow even more good content and discussion to come to APrIGF.

Thanks,

Paul

(Chair of APrIGF steering group)

> With our promotion at the RightsCon Southeast Asia which just concluded in Manila last week, the MSG is very glad to receive the overwhelming interests from the attendees on submitting workshop proposals and their request for a further deadline extension. To enhance the diversity of the proposals and engage more stakeholders' participation, the MSG reached a consensus to further extend the submission deadline to allow sufficient time for community members to fully develop their workshop proposals.
> We now welcome proposals for pre-events or main workshop sessions which should present the proposed issue in an inclusive manner, incorporating a multi-stakeholder perspective with a balance of stakeholders and gender in the speakers list. The session shall promote an interactive dialogue among the participants.
