[IGFmaglist] IGF Resource Persons list

Fri Jul 22 06:18:06 EDT 2016

Creating a resource pool might be something worth thinking about. It might make it easier...:
...for people like this, who have something to say but missed deadline for workshop proposals;
...for people who have a good idea, but have not had global exposure before and don't have the networks;
...for the IGF in general, to get out of the 'usual suspects' trap, through a widened resource pool...

But, to avoid such a resource pool becoming a 'usual suspects' enhancer, it should make possible for anyone to put their name forward, but then to be evaluated at end of workshops for such things as: depth of knowledge in area, novelty of ideas, clarity of communication, etc.

Best

Jivan.

I received an inquiry from a group of Internet activists regarding the resource persons list. Basically, they have missed the deadline for workshop applications, and are wondering if there is a way for their members to be included on panels. I take it the resource persons list is closed to MAG members? Is there any other list that we maintain (or can maintain) that would serve to put together a pool of speakers for workshop proposers? This maybe quite helpful both for individual speakers who want to find an opportunity that suits their expertise and for proposers who are looking for experts on a particular topic.

Best regards.

I think this helps networking in advance to the IGF, whether you need it to look for a speaker or just to meet someone before, during or after the meeting.

I think of resource people as individuals who have expertise on an issue, perspective, or process and are willing to help in organising, suggesting, editing, networking to help find speakers, and other related activities, one of which might be, but might well not be, speaking on a panel. These are important activities that MAG members in particular might assist with.

Is there a way to note what areas and tasks a resource person is particularly interested in?

Dear Renata,

You have raised a valid point. On this basis can MAG members apply as resource persons?

Cheers.
