Dear Bill,

Just to make sure, is this the session?

“Monday, September 1 • 9:00am - 6:30pm
CTS, Diplo Foundation, APC and others: Session on NETmundial (including a Book Release---Beyond NETmundial: The Roadmap for Institutional Improvements to the Global Internet Governance Ecosystem)"

It looked interesting, but there doesn’t seem to be much information on it.  Please let us know when a program is available.

Thanks and look forward to seeing you,
Chip

Hi

There will be a day-long event on NETmundial follow-up on Day Zero of the IGF Istanbul, which will include the release of a multi-author e-book on implementing the Roadmap http://igf2014.sched.org<http://igf2014.sched.org/>.  Strengthening the IGF will be addressed, as will other institutional issues.  Moreover, strengthening options and the IGF’s role should be discussed in one or two main sessions; there are MAG+ groups working to program those now.  And just to echo what Paul said, the CoCom has discussed the possible roles of 1Net at some length, and it’s safe to say there’s little prospect of it supplanting the IGF in any way.  Whether it could come to contribute something more in other settings, e.g. in relation to the NETmundial Alliance initiative, remains to be seen.

Cheers

Bill
