Very often (in UN circles, etc), the approach of Gender Mainstreaming<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_mainstreaming> is used. Same as Human Rights, these are seen as cross-cutting issues that should be a part of every discussion and not as a category on their own.
+1 for mainstreaming them in our discussion, along with human rights.
Best,
Jivan.

Please forgive my blunt ignorance, I realize that this is may a silly question and could rightly subject me to a ton of criticism. Please admonish me appropriately, but I have to ask:
The question has really come up a lot here at NETmundial about inclusion of women in the governance process (and thus in the information society). It's a pretty sad state of affairs, really. The industry is (as with many industries) dominated by men globally and the representation of policy issues globally gets even worse in that regard.
So here's the question that I'm a little afraid to ask: are women considered to be a category of"disadvantaged/vulnerable" in this context? (The question makes me a little nervous because I may be unintentionally walking in to an area where I don't use the right vocabulary and may unintentionally offend).
If so, could we be clearer about that? If not, have we had any real discussions about profiling the need for gender issues in the information society in one of our main events or plenaries?

Dear all,
I'm happy to work together on the preparation of this Plenary session.
1. I would like to include the following as the discussion points for the Plenary, based also on a number of recommendations made in the reports from the workshops last year :
- Social responsibility of actors;
- Disadvantaged/vulnerable groups in the Information Society;
-Human rights and disadvantaged/vulnerable groups in the Information Society
2. I would also recommend to have as a speaker the President of the European Economic and Social Committee, EU body, Mr Henri Malosse, see here:http://www.eesc.europa.eu/?i=portal.en.home
3. Finally, I would recommend as a title the following: Internet policies enabling access as an engine for growth and development.
Look froward to continuing our engagement,
Yuliya

1. Background brief on the sub-themes
2. Suggested titles for main session
3. Suggested formats
4. Suggested Moderators / Remote Moderators
5. Suggestions for potential speakers / organizations
6. Suggested Policy questions
7. Suggested for Timelines for execution

Thanking you for your cooperation.
