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
