From the MAG Summary Report ( 28 Feb. 2008 ),
The final programme will be defined in light of the proposals made for
holding workshops and best practice forums.
In order to speed up planning all interested stakeholders are invited to submit
proposals by 30 April.
Preference will be given to organizers
who submitted a report of events they staged in Rio de Janeiro.
From the Draft Outline program
( 26 March 2008 ) :
Two days with general themes and main sessions focused on specific
issues and not general overviews.
Some workshops could be held on themes defined by the MAG (main
workshops), but organized by others who respond to a call for proposals.
Main workshops, which are linked to the main sessions and workshops on
the five ( ? six ? ) substantive themes, are not to be held in parallel to main
sessions.
- Low cost sustainable access
- Multilingualization
- Implications for development policy
- Critical Internet resources
- Arrangements for Internet governance
- Global cooperation for Internet security and stability
These sessions will be designed to explore detailed issues of the main themes.
As such all interested stakeholders are being invited to submit proposals for
workshops in a similar way as was done for the previous meetings of the IGF. In
addition, some proposals may be initiated by the IGF Secretariat or the MAG.
The main workshops will be scheduled before the main plenary session on the
same theme, thereby allowing detailed debate to be fed into that session. These
workshops will be supported/facilitated by the IGF Secretariat, but organized by
the proposer of the individual session. Each session will conform to the WSIS
principles of multistakeholder participation in both the proposal to the IGF
Secretariat and in its implementation. As important as the multistakeholder
approach is the need to present different perspectives on the issue under
discussion.
Other workshops may be held in parallel to the main sessions, depending
on the quantity and quality of the proposals.
All organizers of events (workshops, best practices etc) will be asked to commit themselves to submit
a report on their event. Non-submission of a report will disqualify the organizer for the following year.
Preference will be given in 2008 to those who did submit a report for 2007. (Submission of reports is still possible and encouraged.)
The IGF meeting in Hyderabad should also allow for a number of
open workshops where multistakeholder groups can host a meeting. The scheduling
of these workshops will be determined by the IGF Secretariat on the basis of
maintaining a balance across the issues and efficient use of meeting space.
Best Practice Forums
The aim of these sessions is to demonstrate, in a multi-stakeholder environment,
some of the best practices that have been adopted with regard to the to key IGF
themes in general and to the development and deployment of the Internet in
particular. The sessions can have either a thematic or a country focus. The
presentations will be based on a common template. Presentations should not
only cover practices that were successful, but also focus on challenges and
mistakes. Thus, `lessons learned' would be an important output of these
sessions. They will be moderated by independent experts/hosts and participants
will be given the opportunity to ask questions and make comments. The aim is to
provide a space to discuss what constitutes a best practice' and share relevant
information that can be transferred to other situations and strengthen capacity-
building activities.
Duration of Best Practice Forum meetings: 90 minutes.
Deadline for submission of proposals: 30 April 2008.
Dynamic Coalitions meeting

reports will be posted on the IGF Web site.
Duration of these meetings: 90 minutes.
Deadline for submission of reports: 30 June 2008.
