[IRP] our proposals for events @ IGF09

[Anja Kovacs]

Hi all,

Just a short update.  As Jac mentioned, IT for Change has submitted a 
workshop proposal that examines, through a gender lens, citizenship and 
its changing meanings, online and offline, in the Internet era.  APC, 
Isis International - Manilla, Sula Batsu, Ginger Paque and Gloria 
Bonder, UNESCO Regional Chair on Women, Science and Technology in Latin 
America, all are co-sponsoring.   It would be good to have input in this 
workshop from the IRP DC as well in due time.

Thanks for the reminder about the mission statement, Shaila. I am at the 
moment trying to finish something else, but will share some comments by 
early next week - hope that is ok. 

Best,
Anja
