With a slight delay, I would like to share video footage of the workshop I organized at the last IGF in Vilnius.  This is the same workshop for which I was seeking your input about a month and a half ago.

The full title of the workshop is “Core Internet values and the principles of Internet Governance across generations” and the idea is exactly that – to have a dialogue between Internet pioneers and young Internet activists on the core of what the Internet stands for.

We had a great group of people.  On the one hand, there were young people from different parts of the world.  On the other hand, there were more senior Internet thinkers and practitioners.  Here is the full list of participants (in alphabetical order):

• Bill Graham, Global Strategic Engagement, the Internet Society (ISOC)
• ‘Gbenga Sesan, Paradigm New Nigeria
• Drew Smith, Student at Elon Univeristy and participant in Imagining the Internet project
• Grace Bomu, Young Kenyan lawyer, secretary of the ICT Consumers Association of Kenya, and cultural activist
• Laura DeNardis, Yale Information Society Project
• Marie Casey, Elected female representative at the ITU Youth Forum of future leaders, Geneva, 2009
• Nii Narku Quaynor, Ghana.com
• Rafik Dammak, Tokyo University
• Vinton G. Cerf, vice president and chief Internet evangelist for Google
• Vladimir Radunovic, Diplo Foundation

Ian Peter, who chaired the last year workshop on Internet Governance, was also supposed to take part in the workshop, but unfortunately he was not able to make it to Vilnius.

I hoped to be able to share a report from the workshop here, but other tasks take priority at the moment and I will be posting the report later.  I do think we had a very interesting and lively discussion, so I thought at this point I will just share the video footage of the event.  If you have a couple of hours to spare, I think you will find this engaging.

As always, your thoughts and comments are most welcome!
