The workshop will take place *today (Thursday, 8th Dec)* from *3 p.m. to 4.30 p.m*. in *Workshop room 7*. Do join us and participate. The workshop outline, agenda and speakers can be found below. Hope to see many of you there! Best wishes, Aarti -- *Workshop Outline* Our session seeks to explore the contours of the multistakeholder model by examining the role played by civil society actors in the IANA Transition Process. Civil Society as a stakeholder group encompasses incredible diversity within itself. By examining the experiences of civil society stakeholders in the IANA transition, the session will throw light on the role, successes and failures of this stakeholder group in the process. The IANA Transition is seen as a prime example of multistakeholderism in practice. It is an ideal case study because it will have participants look to future multistakeholder engagements such as the continuing work stream 2 of ICANN accountability enhancements, among others. This will enable new participants to get involved and old participants to refine the multistakeholder model to make it more inclusive. The session will feed into the goals of more inclusive governance models and the diversity within this stakeholder group fits into the larger theme of the IGF 2016 of enabling inclusive and sustainable development. *Agenda* 1. Welcome and opening input 2. Key issues for civil society during the transition debates 3. Successes and failures from the transition discussions 4. Strategies for the future 5.
