Thanks Milton,
For those of us who could not, or would not, attend an IGF conference in Turkey at this time we hope that, via Robin and Milton,
there will be access to a report on the deliberations of these more civil society oriented meetings in Istanbul.

Dear NCSGers:
If you are going to IGF in Istanbul you may be interested in this. I am working with some local (Turkish) activists associated with the Internet Ungovernance Forum, and we have put together a workshop called:
Governance or Ungovernance: A Strategy Workshop for Internet Activists
It will be held 3 September 2014 (Wednesday), 13:00 18:00, in Istanbul near Taksim Square
The workship is designed for people new to the arena who may be:
* confused about all the complicated and overlapping institutions that claim to be working on Internet governance
* unsure about how activists concerned with local censorship and surveillance fit into these global structures
* wondering how the IGF, ICANN, IETF, the ITU, the CSTD, and NetMundial are relevant to their collective engagements
The full description of what we are doing is attached as a pdf, which you are free to forward to other appropriate lists, and the same information can be found at this URL: https://iuf.alternatifbilisim.org/gov_ungov_workshop.html
