The Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) in its meeting on 1 March 2013
agreed to modify the procedure for the selection of workshops.

They advised that a preliminary call for workshop proposals be issued.
Workshop proponents should include a concise description of the thematic
area of interest and other pertinent information in their submissions. The
proposals could focus on the priority themes identified by the open
consultations/MAG meetings or could also introduce other themes. (These can
be found in the annex of the MAG summary
report:<http://intgovforum.org/cms/2013/MAG.Summary.Report.1March.r2.pdf>
.)

The MAG recommended that a two track process be followed:


   - For organizers of workshops  in *2011 or 2012* IGF meeting the
   submission of a preliminary proposal by *22 March 2013 *is mandatory.
   After this deadline the MAG will go through and assess the preliminary
   proposals. The MAG through the Secretariat will then invite selected
   workshop proponents to submit full and complete workshop proposals by *30
   April 2013 *based on these preliminary proposals. Workshop proponents
   with similar proposals may be asked to work together to develop a single
   fully-fledged proposal. Workshop proponents cannot significantly change the
   topic of an approved proposal.

   - In order to encourage workshop organizers, first time proposers are
   encouraged to but do not need to submit preliminary workshop proposals.
   They do however have to submit a full and complete workshop proposal by *30
   April 2013*. The Secretariat stands ready to assist new comers in any
   way.


As a result of the above MAG recommendations the IGF Secretariat is issuing
a preliminary call for workshop proposals to which the deadline will be *22
March 2013*.

An online form will be available on *15 March 2013 *on the IGF website for
submissions.

The template will be as follows:

1. Workshop working title:
2. Concise description of broader thematic area of interest:
3. Concise description of specific issues to be addressed:
4. Indication of workshop format:
a. Panel*
b. Roundtable
c. Free discussion (with one or two moderators)
d.  Other (please describe)
5. Name of contact person:**
6. Institution:
7. Contact email:
