Open space for Internet governance ideas
From IGFWiki
This is a planning workspace for those who are interested to participate in the workshop for the Vilnius, Lithuania The Fifth Annual Meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (14-17 September) on the subject of Innovative Internet Governance Ideas and Approaches - An Open Discussion Space (formerly: Revolutionary Internet Governance Ideas that can help change the Developing World):
A workshop that provides stakeholders the opportunity to share positive ideas for stimulating socio-economic change in the developing world utilizing the Internet. This will be a venue for both developed and developing world participants. An example may be the ideas presented by Tim Berners-Lee at TED for Opening Data to the world that helped in providing concrete relief information on the ground during the Haiti earthquake crisis. Another idea may be Google's mapping of the Sudan crisis.
With the participation of all stakeholders, including youth, the workshop will record the many positive ideas that evolve from this venue, measure the changes that they have enabled over time, and at the next IGF meeting identify which ideas had the greatest impact over the past 12 months since presented.
A round table open to all participants of the workshop. The format will be 5 minutes given to each of the participants to share an existing or revolutionary idea. The Internet governance dimensions of each idea will also be explored. All the ideas will be recorded and categorized under various topics for measurement of impact over the following year.
