IGF workshop proposals?

[Michael Oghia]

+1 Matthew on presenting working models. This could be an opportunity to
demonstrate tangible cases where multistakeholder engagement made a
significant difference. It could also be a chance to demonstrate
multistakeholder collaboration, for instance, by asking ISOC and others
invested in the model to join the discussion as well, or ask NCSG members
to detail experiences with the multistakeholder model in their work.

Best,
-Michael
