OK. I'll reply to myself.
a. A concise formulation for the proposed workshop theme;
b. A brief description of why it is important;
c. How it is in conformity with the Tunis Agenda in terms of
substance, particularly in reference to para. 34 to 54;
d. How it fits within the mandate of the IGF as detailed in para 72;
e. Who the main actors in the field are, who could be encouraged to
participate in the workshop;
f. Why should this issue should be addressed in the first annual
meeting of the Forum rather than in subsequent ones;
g. A brief description about the conveners of the workshop, with
particular emphasis on the multi-stakeholder nature of the proposal
and why they are appropriate to lead on this issue;
h. Anticipated duration of the workshop;
i. Expected outcomes and maintaining dialogue in the IGF process.

More?
What information should be in the call (announcement requesting
workshops) the advisory group publishes?
1. Obviously a deadline.
2. Offer to publish all workshop proposals on the IGF website and
invite other organizations/individuals interested in the proposal to
(for example) comment, join a mailing list to participate in
developing the proposal and to continue discussion whether or not the
proposal is accepted as a full workshop in Athens.
3. A note that the AG does not have funds to support workshop proposals.
Ideas always appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
