[IGFmaglist] [Evolintgov2014] Draft: Main session template-Evolution of Internet Governance Ecosystem_Role of the IGF - Reaction to NETmundial + CSTD + WSIS, ITU, other fora and Strengthening IGF

Mariela, thanks so much for your comments.Subi and I are in full agreement that we are examining how to fill in gaps. And greatly appreciate your comments. 
We want to examine the comments, and the options and provide a coherent suggestion to address, so do bear with us just a bit. 
However, I ask for some MAG help on a couple of items in the meantime: 
How to categorize a participant from a global entity: Categorizing global speakers who are with a UN organization or Regional organization, such as OECD, or NEPAD.  I would suggest that UN organization is global, and that OECD and NEPAD, for example, are Regional, as is Carribbean Telecom Organization, but am asking for feedback on that as a concept.  A global entity from business, such as ICC defines itself as global, as does WITSA.  Some CS organizations are also global in scope, while the staff reside in a particular country. 
I am just considering how to approach that in order to both assure voices from developing regions, and also to provide a platform for addressing the broader issues of how such entities fit into the global IG ecosystem.  
For instance, certainly UN organizations are global in focus :  UNESCO, CSTD/UNCTAD, UN DESA, ITU.  Some of the international entities/ organizations are global in focus, such as ICANN, IETF, ISOC. These are for illustration only.  
I wouldn't suggest that UNESCO is European, for instance, just because its offices are in Paris, France, or that ITU is Swiss.  Ditto to the RIRs who are obviously regional, even if the offices are in a particular country.  We haven't had this conversation and I am only striving to ensure that we are considering different players in the IG Ecosystem, and building an understanding with fellow MAG members. 
Analyzing the relevant Workshops: Some of the workshops are very relevant, to perhaps even directly aligned with this main session. The session on Emerging Issues will also be highly relevant to consider the way forward for IGF itself in addressing key challenges and its future evolution.  I am actually reading all of the workshops, and of course, taking into consideration the Day 0 events, including the HL event, and then also making a list of the frequent speakers in relevant workshops, as well, so that we can also take into account how and where the topics that are relevant into this main session are considered and who is being heard from, in various sessions. 
Other relevant thoughts:  Present Registration counts: In order to  assess the options for speakers,  I have also looked at the registered list for all groups, and it is quite interesting. And, given that so many of the names that one would expect to be here are not, I am a little perplexed. IGO:67Govs: 209Tech Comm: 154 Civil Society: 432Private Sector: 265Of course, registration count is still early.  BUT, several folks who are proposed for main sessions are not confirmed to attend.  I am wondering if actually all organizers of Workshops and Main sessions should send a reminder, quickly, to all invited speakers to remind them to register.   As this is reaching the full MAG list, just mentioning that it is good to check the lists to see if your participants are indeed registered. 
In summary,  I am just doing the gap analysis and Subi and I will be examining options.

Dear all,
Thanks so much to all those who have been involved in the planning of this session. It is very well shaped and it promises to be one of the key sessions of the upcoming IGF. 

Jumping in very late myself, my only suggestion would be that when reviewing the list of speakers, remaining gaps are filled in a way that actors from developing countries are more represented. It is excellent that the session will be very interactive, but it is also important that the line-up captures the diversity of views.

Congratulations again. Looking forward to this session. 
Marília

thanks, Baher, we are looking at all the main sessions, including Day 0, and assessing overlap and ALSO recognizing many who were invited initially did not accept. We are also assessing the gaps that may exist due to geo diversity and will continue to listen closely to the comments of our MAG colleagues and others who are participating on the Evolintgov list. 

Thanks for your comment.
Marilyn and Subi

Thanks Subi and Marilyn for leading this effort. 
I can see from the latest draft submitted to the list that each panel has 10+ confirmed panelists plus 7 invited/TBC. Assuming half of those invited/TBC are confirmed, and despite a more balanced panel may result from adding them, we are going to have 90-min panel discussion with 13 to 15 panelists, which is quite a large number in my view.

We thank you for your interest in the session. It's formulation has indeed benefitted from the experience of old MAG members and the energy and freshness of new stakeholder representatives. All possible attempts have been made to include all suggestions
 on format, speakers and policy questions. 
We hope you will continue to guide and mentor this session and actively engage with us.
A special thanks to Janis for keeping a constant watch and enriching this session in particular through a sustained engagement.

Also thank you to my co-lead Marilyn Cade for her constant support and insights and to all the 16 original volunteers who have remained committed to the session over the past several months. Also hoping some of them will lend us their considerable skills
 at the venue for substantive rapporteuring.

warmest
Subi Chaturvedi and Marilyn Cade
