A Note for brief inviting comments attached (NIC)

A note for brief relating to the main session is being circulated here for your comments, advice and inputs.  This is a first basic attempt to get options for titles, formats, moderators, speakers and most importantly, off the ground for discussion and inputs from all. Based on the inputs a conference call can be proposed amongst contributors and volunteers and all others who wish to join.

The NIC is attached. You are requested for initial comments by Thursday, April 24, 2014.  The note provides some early outline ideas and invites comments on the issues of:

1.      Background brief on the sub-themes

2.      Suggested titles for main session

3.      Suggested formats

4.      Suggested Moderators / Remote Moderators

5.      Suggestions for potential speakers / organizations

6.      Suggested Policy questions

7.      Suggested for Timelines for execution

8.      Request for volunteers

Time permitting we could discuss this session on the 3rd virtual meeting of the MAG scheduled for Wednesday, April 16, 2014.

Look forward to your first set of comments and ideas by April 24, 2014.  We also need some of the volunteers to hold the pen on the document as it develops.

Thanking you for your cooperation.

Regards
Virat Bhatia
