[IGFmaglist] Update on BPFs - themes identified

[Ricardo Pedraza]

Thanks a lot Constance for shaping the BPF themes. 
During the conference call the fact that some WS proposals look like a BPF may either increase the options or help us to find key contributors. 
Having 4 or more BPFs would contribute to offer concrete lessons on these topics to the Istanbul attendees. 
Best,
Ricardo

Among the various themes initially envisioned, narrower topics were extracted - topics that offer a practical/tangible angle and lend themselves to discussing best practices. Volunteers were then asked to bring down the list of themes to a manageable number.
