Not too big of a deal, though - they just accepted every proposal. But 
anyway, we made it, and I am looking forward to the meeting in Athens. 
Thanks again to Gus who did most of the preparation work.

Best, Ralf

[NEW] Advisory Group Meeting

The Advisory Group held a meeting in Geneva on 7 and 8 September 2006.
It
refined the draft programme for the inaugural meeting and developed
criteria for the selection of speakers and panellists. More details will
be made available on this Web site in due course.

[NEW] Workshops

The Advisory Group also discussed the proposals that have been submitted
for workshops. Based on the number of proposals and the meeting
facilities
available, it provisionally agreed to offer slots to all workshop
proposals. However, the Advisory Group had some questions with regard to
some aspects of the proposals:

* It was not always clear whether the guiding organizational principle
for
holding workshops, i.e. the multi-stakeholder approach, is truly
respected
in all cases. Some clarifications may therefore be need in some cases
and
some adjustments may be necessary in other cases .

* The overall theme of the meeting - "Internet governance for
development"
was not given sufficient priority. All organizers are therefore
encouraged
to review their proposal under this aspect.

* There was some overlap between some workshop proposals. In a first
phase, all organizers are therefore encouraged to examine whether they
would like to join forces with other institutions and merge their
proposals. Any wishes to do so should be addressed to the IGF
secretariat
at: igf at intgovforum.org. In a second phase, the Advisory Group may make
concrete proposals for merging some workshops.

All organizers will be contacted shortly.
