[IGFmaglist] Taking Stock/Emerging Issues Main Session

Wed Jul 16 17:26:11 EDT 2014

Dear Colleagues,
Thank  you Constance for raising this proposed structure.
I second Mark's comments. I think that one of the benefits of having an 
earlier IGF this year might make it possible to work within the proposed 
timeframe of 8-10 weeks for the MAG to review and work upon these leads.
Best regards,
Carolina
