Dear Colleagues, A colleague form the CIVIL SOCIETY is seeking a panellist for a workshop that he is planning to organize at the IGF Nairobi in September. If you would like to participate and feel competent as a panellist please inform me and I will send him your contacts. (Workshop description below): Mapping Internet Governance (IGC sponsored workshop at Nairobi IGF) This workshop will explore where and how Internet Governance decisions are currently taken. What are the relevant fora and decision-making bodies? In what topic areas do they make decisions and with what kinds of impacts? How can individuals and stakeholder organizations make sure that their viewpoints and concerns are appropriately taken into consideration? Besides having a discussion of these topics in Nairobi, the workshop aims at initiating a multistakeholder process for creating a document "Map of Internet Governance" which addresses these questions from a balanced, multistakeholder perspective, and for thereafter keeping this document up-to-date. As a starting point for the discussions, a list of already existing documents with similar goals and a rough draft for a first edition of the Map will be prepared in advance. At the workshop itself, it will be a main goal to learn from diverse stakeholders about what information is important to them to empower their effective participation in Internet Governance fora. There will be special emphasis on the challenges related to effective participation from developing countries in Internet Governance decision-making processes, with the objective of ensuring that the resulting decisions become more conductive to development goals.
