Dear all, If you are attending the Internet Governance Forum in Guadalajara, whether in person or remotely, I would like to invite you to join NCSG workshop Civil Society Experiences from the IANA transition Process on Thursday, 8 December, at 15:00 Guadalajara time (2100 UTC) in workshop room 7. The transition was a major effort from everybody involved in ICANN, including us, and this is a good time to take a look back and see how it went for us. We have an interesting agenda and a very good set of speakers who've been deep in the process. ** Agenda ** Welcome & introduction Key issues for civil society during the transition debates - transparency and accountability, community & staff accountability, role of governments, human rights Successes and failures in the transition discussions - barriers to effective participation - what worked well for civil society Strategies for the future - substantive and procedural issues Open discussion / Questions and Answers ** Speakers ** Farzaneh Badii, Aarti Bhavana, Alan Greenberg, Robin Gross, Marilia Maciel, Milton Mueller, Niels ten Oever, Jan-Aart Scholte, Matthew Shears, Klaus Stoll.
