Thanks for sharing this call for workshop proposals, Mamadou. Is the NCUC going to be pitching something? The United Nations Human Rights Council has just adopted a very strong new privacy resolution. And just last month, Stephanie Perrin and Peter Kimpian of the Council of Europe organised a highly successful session in Copenhagen with the data protection commissioners. We shouldn't let the momentum slip... in my opinion, we should be looking to communicate the problematic privacy implications of ICANN activities to as wide an audience as possible. And the IGF seems a good place to be doing this. I've drafted up a quick [workshop proposal now in Google Docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iH4LgmuUk8QEnBbD_wpTEYBeZYatSH2BOJJyvHVreSc/edit?usp=sharing). Please feel free to edit or to suggest a different idea altogether... Thanks!
