Dear Hong,
I know it is a bit late in the day to ask you for this but, if you can let me know how to get on to the page where you have posted your IGF proposal.
I have been travelling for the past few days and didn't got chance to check my mails.
Rgds,

Given that the submission deadline is coming very soon and I won't have any Internet access tomorrow, I made a draft and posted at

Editions are very welcome still.

Dear Mr. Peake,
Thank you for very insightful suggestions. My colleagues at the APRALO would be grateful for your suggestions on the following issues:
Could we apply for a session at the plenary, rather than a parallel workshop? This is a the first IGF in AP region that is most Internet populous. APRALO would like to do more contribution for the Internet users in this region.

Dear Hong,
This looks like an interesting proposal, thanks!
I'm a member of the IGF advisory group and have some information
help you. We realized that completing all the information in the workshop proposal questionnaire by the April 30 deadline would quite difficult, so for April 30 it's only necessary to answer questions 1, 2, 4 and 9. If you can answer more, then please do, but the basic questions are:
1. Name of proposed workshop
2. Provide a concise description of the proposed workshop theme including its importance and relevance to the IGF.
4. Provide the name of the organizer(s) of the workshop and their affiliation to various stakeholder groups. Describe how you will take steps to adhere to the multi-stakeholder principle, geographical diversity and gender balance.
9. Under which of the five IGF themes does the proposal fall under ? (access, critical Internet resources, diversity, openness, security)
Question 2 requires a description of the workshop in about 100- 200 words, then list up the names of organizations you would like to invite. IGF workshops should try to present a range of points of view on an issue. It's important to make sure a broad range of interests are represented.
People perhaps able to help could be Raj Singh, now with ISOC and of course very familiar with APRALO. Theresa Swinehart, Global Partnerships. I think Theresa might be coordinating ICANN's efforts in Hyderabad (and if not she's anyway a member of the IGF advisory group so I expect would be helpful.)
Milton Mueller is working on a related proposal you might be interested to see <http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/arc/governance/2008-04/msg00424.html> No overlap with what you're proposing. And best to make sure you don't overlap or you may be asked to combine your proposals.
And... last, about the proposal itself (and this is my personal opinion, nothing to do with the advisory group). Given that most international
that might policy
processes are conducted in English (of course some have interpretation etc, but the default tends to be English) the idea of looking at multilingual services and multilingual policy-making is very interesting. And very important to users. I suggest you look beyond just ICANN and try to include other organizations -- how do they involve users, how do they address multilingual issues (ITU, IETF, W3C, WIPO, etc etc.)
Best,
Adam

Dear All,
Please see my draft proposal for a workshop at IGF 2008 at https://st.icann.org/asiapac/index.cgi?planning_for_igf_2008.
This is the very preliminary draft for us to "hold a place" at the
IGF
schedule. Feel free to make any change or supplement on the draft. I hope all the comments could be wrapped up by April 29, which would make us submit the proposal on April 30.
