city, my proposals are:
Istanbul IGF 2014: Connecting continents, people and communities for a
sustainable internet governance ecosystem.
OR
Istanbul IGF 2014: Connecting continents, people and ideas for an
inclusive internet governance ecosystem.
OR
Istanbul IGF 2014: Connecting conversations and continents for an
inclusive internet governance ecosystem.
OR
Istanbul IGF 2014: Connecting continents and conversations, people and
communities, for a sustainable internet governance ecosystem.
OR
Istanbul IGF 2014: Building an inclusive global internet governance
ecosystem: Connecting conversations and bridging continents.
OR if we leave Istanbul's location out of the theme:
Connecting people and ideas for an inclusive internet governance ecosystem.
Connecting people and ideas for a sustainable and inclusive internet
governance ecosystem.
