[Governance] IGF Workshop Submission - IGC proposal ?

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear IGC,

Hope this email finds you well despite the strange circumstances we find
ourselves at during this pandemics.

I am writing to you in order to consult whether we would like to submit a
session for the Global IGF
<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2020>. The
Secretariat facilitated a webinar this week, giving the community a few
updates on the preparations for this year's event and confirming that they
are continuing to plan for the event alongside with the Host Country.
Additionally, IGF secretariat also mentioned that they plan to keep the
community updated about any new events and the possible chance of a
cancelation.

In light of that, I would like to consult the list how do we stand on a
session submission. Sheetal and I have been considering that it would be
important, and part of our collective work in restructuring IGC, to have a
session at this year's event. On that note, we have a few options - 1)
continue with our day one event; 2) submit a session proposal collectively
constructed by the Caucus and 3) submit both a Day zero and a session
proposal.

*The deadline for Workshops, Open Forums, Day Zero events and Call for
travel support is the 22nd of April*, so this gives us a few days to come
up with a submission. As a possible subject, since this was one of the
groups in which the debate around dot org was also active, I would suggest
for us to submit something related to what we consider a public interest
Internet - but this can also be discussed as we are open for any
suggestions you can come up with.

Having said that, Id like to hear back from the list if we consider it to
be feasible to submit a workshop proposal and the possible topics for that.

Best regards,

*Bruna Santos *
ICG Co-Coordinator
