(Apologies for cross posting) Dear all, The Sixth Annual IGF Meeting will be held in Nairobi on 27-30 September 2011 at the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON) Gigiri. The proposed main theme of the meeting is: '*Internet as a catalyst for change: access, development, freedoms and innovation*'. The call for workshop proposals deadline is on Friday 15th April and it would be great if we could get a few Kenyan proposed workshops, along the following key themes: 1. IG4D / Internet governance for development (IG4D) 2. Emerging Issues 3. Managing critical Internet resources 4. Security, openness and privacy 5. Access and diversity 6. Taking stock and the way forward Steps to submitting proposals see here: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/w2011 and below Thank you and looking forward to those proposals. p.s no payment required to propose and organise a workshop during the IGF Best Alice ------------------- Steps to submitting proposals see here: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/w2011 ad below -------------------------------------- *Steps to submitting proposals* * Log in to the IGF Website with your username and password * If you do not have a username and password you can register here: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/component/user/register * Once you have logged in click the menu item: Workshops ---> New Proposal. * Once your proposal is submitted you can edit your proposal by going to the "Manage your proposals" menu item under the Workshops menu The template for submitting can be viewed below. Proposals should respect the organizational principles and criteria for the selection of workshops. The Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) will assess the proposals. The final schedule will be determined in light of the number of proposals submitted. *Organizational Principles* * The guiding organizational principle for holding workshops is the multi-stakeholder approach. Geographical diversity is an equally relevant factor. * All proposals fulfilling the selection criteria and using the template will be posted on the IGF Web site. * Proposals should preferably be submitted in English. *15 April 2011* is set as the final deadline for submitting proposals. * Interested parties are encouraged to submit their proposals as early as possible, as the selection process will take place on an ongoing basis. An early decision will facilitate the planning of workshops. * The rooms reserved for workshops and all equipment, including a screen and a PC or laptop for projections and a projector (XGA/SVGA Data), will be available free of charge. Details related to the logistics will be made available in due course. No Secretariat funding is available for the organization of workshops. * Workshops should have a plan of incorporating remote participation into their sessions and organizers should identify a remote moderator. The workshops will be Web cast and have live transcription. * There will be no interpretation provided for workshops. If interpretation is desired the workshop organizers are free to make their own arrangements in coordination with the IGF Secretariat. The organizers will be responsible for all associated costs. *Selection criteria* * Relevance to the main themes and sub-themes. Priority will be given to proposals related to the main themes and relation to the theme questions. * Demonstratively proposed or organized following the multi-stakeholder principle (e.g. at least three relevant stakeholder groups being represented in the organization of the workshop). * Capacity to improve understanding of the IGF themes and topics. * Proven experience, expertise and capacity to manage the staging of the workshop, including the raising of funds necessary to do so. * Timeliness, completeness and adherence to deadlines. * The provision of background papers. * Developing country support * Gender balance * Balance of speakers to participant discussion in the design of the workshop; that is, the degree of interaction planned * Youth participation * Suitability for remote participation, for example linkages to a hub event. * A name of a remote moderator is also required for each workshop. *Content and format* * They are two general workshop types: *- Feeder workshops:* which will focus on the specific issues relevant to the Nairobi meeting themes and will act as leaders to the relevant main sessions. These workshops should also address themselves in part to one or some of the questions of its main session. As was done in previous years in the relevant main sessions, the moderators of these sessions will call on the feeder workshop rapporteurs to relate the viewpoints expressed in the workshops. Each feeder workshop will be asked to assign a rapporteur whose role will include attending the relevant main session, giving a brief overview of the session's discussions and take part in a one hour round table session that will immediately proceed the main session on that topic. They should also be available to act as a resource to the moderators of the relevant main session. To the extent possible participants from the feeder workshops are also encouraged to attend the main sessions related to the feeder workshops in order to broaden the discussions on the sub-themes of the sessions. * - Other workshops:* Workshops on other topics of relevance to Internet Governance. (More details to both these types of workshops are available in the draft programme paper <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/2011/programmepapers/ProgrammePaper.24.02.11…>.) * Workshops dealing with topics that are addressed in the main meeting will not be scheduled at the same time as the main meeting. * Workshops should explore a theme from different angles and different stakeholders' perspectives. Pure advocacy workshops will not be considered. * All workshops will be Webcast and have realtime transcription. * Workshops should respect the general format of meetings and should be structured to be interactive, allowing a large portion of their time for open discussion and interaction with meeting attendees, such as a Q&A session. They could include keynote presentations, moderated panels and discussions both from the floor and from remote participants. Workshops should be designed with the format that is most appropriate to the particular topic under discussion. * Template for submitting proposals * An online form will be made available shortly for the submission of workshop proposals containing the following questions: *Question 1:* Title of proposed workshop. *Question 2*: Please provide a concise description of the proposed workshop. *Question 3:* Which of the five broad IGF Themes <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/component/content/article/104-general/788-th…> or the Cross-Cutting Priorities does your workshop fall under? *Question 4a:* Have you, or any of your co-organizers, organized an IGF workshop before? *Question 4b:* If so, please provide the link(s) to the report(s): *Question 5:* Provide the names and affiliations of the panellists you are planning to invite. *Question 5b:* Name of Remote Moderator. *Question 6*: Provide the name of the organizer(s) of the workshop and their affiliation to various stakeholder groups.
